In the era of globalization and multiculturalism, many predict that America will become a raceless society in the near future, arguing that race is fading in America due to immigration, interethnic marriage, and biotechnology to change skin color. However, many also challenge the “race-over” thesis and the idealized vision of the nation, emphasizing that race is not just biological but deeply connected to the social and economic structure. Written in the early twentieth century and depicting a demographic change of the United States finally to mulatto, George Schuyler’s 1931 novel Black No More prefigures the contemporary debate on a postracial America and the doubts many have regarding this idea. I analyze how the novel shows the complexity of race in American society, delineating the privilege and power of whiteness and the constructed relation between race and class.
