5.0 out of 5 stars terrific, terrific, terrific, 30 Sep 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: A Door into Ocean (Hardcover)

This gem of a sci fi novel is the best case study of nonviolent resistance to oppression I've ever seen. The struggles of a people to hold onto their own unique, peaceful (women's) culture--as an outwardly more powerful (male-dominated) enemy tries to take them over, and as they contend not only with the atrocities committed against them by that enemy, but also with their own divisions and disagreements about what to do--are fascinating, both at the social level and from the viewpoints of strategically-placed protagonists. These characters include an adolescent male, invited by the leaders of "Ocean" to come live among them so they can understand each other better, and a three-year-old girl who, when held hostage with other children, takes the "self-name" She-Who-Spits-Up-Her-Food as part of the coming-of-age ritual the children participate in when they decide to take up the adult responsibilities of resisting the enemy. The only book I know that compares to this one is Starhawk's almost-as-wonde
