Hersey's dystopian novel on race relations - turned on its head. After China wins the "Great War" white Americans had become enslaved by the Chinese and are the subservient race. The story follows a young Arizona girl renamed White Lotus. As she ages, she evolves from "a bewildered, terrified slave to a conscious and intelligent revolutionary." Her orchestrated, yet simple act of standing before her captors on one leg, head bowed like a sleeping bird becomes an often repeated act of nonviolent civil disobedience, an unconventional act in the spirit of Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King.
