Black No More

A liberating and lacerating critique of American racial madness, capitalism, and white superiority . . . In the era of Trump and Rachel Dolezal, Beyonce s Formation and that radical Pepsi commercial starring Kendall Jenner, of the rise and fall of Tiger Woods land of Cablinasia, and of Michael Jackson s race lift and subsequent death, Schuyler s wild, misanthropic, take-no-prisoners satire of American life seems more relevant than ever. Danzy Senna, from the Introduction

No one is safe from Schuyler s biting mockery. . . . Each page unleashes a fusillade of gags and comic sequences, careening from slapstick to blood bath and back again. . . . To borrow a line from Schuyler, the plot twists get more complicated than a flapper s past and about as fun. . . . [Black No More is] unsparing on the madness of racial classification but frank, and very beautiful, on the lure of racial belonging. The New York Times

A clever and biting satire. Isabel Wilkerson, The New York Times Book Review

This book is fascinating. Wesley Morris, The New York Times Book Review (podcast)

Very satirical . . . It reminds me in some ways . . . of Paul Beatty s The Sellout, which . . . has no sacred cows and is also very funny and cutting.   John Williams, The New York Times Book Review (podcast)

Black No More holds a cynical mirror up to its time, but has plenty to say to our world, too. . . . Schuyler s mockery spares no one. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Extraordinary . . . A satiric tour de force that rips into myths of white supremacy, black nationalism and the American Dream. Maureen Corrigan, NPR s Fresh Air
