Paperback, read in the UK about 1975, setting USA and the UK.
The plot was a pandemic that was killing all white people
(I think also Asians and Orientals but not sure)



There were like Black Power groups fighting for power
and also church leaders making their own grabs for control



Then rumours begin about 'The Floured Men' who are allegedly a couple of
men trying to fetch back the olden days of white people in charge by going 'whiteface'



Note: Although I read this in the mid-seventies it was a few years old and 'of it’s time'
Therefore some racist phrases were casually used



It transpires that the Floured Men are actually white survivors so there is
an assumption that things will now get back to normal with them running things










share|improve this question






















  • Were the events happening in the 1960's, or had the disease eliminating white people happened earlier? I know there's an alternate history novel out there where the 1918 flu epidemic wipes out most whites in the United States and successor states arise run by African-Americans. I can't remember the title right now though.

This is Robert Bateman's When the Whites Went



*When the Whites Went* book cover
Book subtitle: 50 million white people lie dead- victims of the mystery killer that rages from city to city.




His sf novel, When the Whites Went (1963), is set in an England where only blacks survive a disease to which all others fall victim.




Found by doing a Google Books search for "The Floured Men", which came up with the following:




Armina ate the Floured Men's food and drank from their flasks of water. But she said little. They were not Floured Men, of course, and that was even more terrifying at first than the eerie prospect of a new religion more powerful than Waldo's.
