Pretty brown girl / by Darling Shanta,author.;
Dear Pretty Brown Girl, Did you know that your skin comes in so many different shades? As a brown girl, our skin is more colorful than the rainbow. Some of us are pecan brown-like pies on grandma's table. If you don't look like a pecan pie, don't worry. Your skin may look like cute caramel candy-a tasty treat to the world. Maybe you are a pretty peanut butter truffle, pecan tan, espresso brown, or like a grove of beautiful black cacao trees. Regardless of your color, the universe will find comfort in your shade. -- from publisher's website.

Black no more : being an account of the strange and wonderful workings of science in the land of the free, A.D. 1933-1940 / by Schuyler, George S.(George Samuel),1895-1977,author.(CARDINAL)506824;
"The landmark comic satire that asks, "What would happen if all black people in America turned white?" It's New Year's Day 1933 in New York City, and Max Disher, a young black man, has just found out that a certain Dr. Junius Crookman has discovered a mysterious process that allows people to bleach their skin white--a new way to "solve the American race problem." Max leaps at the opportunity, and after a brief stay at the Crookman Sanitarium, he becomes Matthew Fisher, a white man who's able to attain everything he's ever wanted: money, power, good liquor, and the white woman who rejected him when he was black. Lampooning myths of white supremacy and racial purity and caricaturing prominent African American leaders like W. E. B. Du Bois, Madam C. J. Walker, and Marcus Garvey, Black No More is a masterwork of speculative fiction and a hilarious satire of America's obsession with race.
