The Black President (originally either The Clash of the Races or The Black President or Romance of the Clash of the Races in America in the Year 2228)[a] is a work of dystopian science fiction published in 1926 and written by Monteiro Lobato, being the author's only novel.[1][2][3]

The main story follows the first-person narrative of Ayrton Lobo and his conversations with Miss. Jane about the United States of the year 2228, witnessed through a porviroscope, about the dispute between the Men's Party and its representative, President Mr. Kerlog, seeking re-election, and the Elvinist Party, with Miss Astor as its candidate, against Jim Roy, the candidate of the Black Association for President of the United States, and the macabre outcome of the struggle for power.
