A review by mcdavidson
Black No More by George S. Schuyler
4.0
Satire on race and class in America, surprisingly written in the 1930s but could have easily been written this year. A procedure is created to change black people into white prople, and this largely follows what happens to society afterwards.
This definitely reads like it’s from the 30s because of the language and phrases used (also CW for slurs), but I still found it digestible and engaging. A bit too many characters, but the social commentary was in point. And it’s so sad and disappointing that, almost one hundred years later, this still seems relevant. The ending was absolutely fantastic.
