Black No More: Being an Account of the Strange and Wonderful Workings of Science in the Land of the Free A.D. 1933-1940 - Paperback

by George S. Schuyler (Author), Mint Editions (Contribution by)

LARGE PRINT EDITION .Black No More is the first full-length work of satire by a Black author. Originally published in 1931, this novel laid down the foundation of the Afrofuturism genre and is also a foundational work on intra-community colorism. Langston Hughes' famous piece "The Negro and The Racial Mountain"; was written as a response to author George S. Schuyler's "The Negro-Art Hokum"; written in 1926 for The Nation, which argued that art should not be segregated by race and that Black artists had no true style of their own. Schuyler was a talented, but controversial figure of the Harlem Renaissance. His personal philosophies were more capitalistic than nationalistic, and his eventual vocal opposition to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and '70s pushed him into obscurity.
