About This Item
Mineola, NY:: Dover Publications,, (2011). Near fine in glossy illustrated wrappers.. Trade paperback. A humorous work of speculative fiction, the first novel, originally published in 1931, by this African American journalist and author, perhaps best known for his autobiography "Black and Conservative." A "biting satire which not only debunks the myths of white supremacy and racial purity but also lampoons prominent leaders of the NAACP and the Harlem Renaissance. [It] offers a hilarious take on the hypocrisy and demagoguery surrounding America's obsession with skin color. According to Max Disher, an ambitious young black man in 1930s New York, someone of his race has only three alternatives: 'Get out, get white, or get along.' Incapable of getting out and unhappy with getting along, Max leaps at the remaining possibility. Thanks to a certain Dr. Junius Crookman and his mysterious process, Max and other eager clients develop bleached skin that permits them to enter previously forbidden territory. What they discover in white society, however, gives them second thoughts." vi, 151 pp.
