Summary | "Be It Ever Thus" by Robert Moore Williams is a science fiction novel written in the early to mid-1950s. The book explores themes of conquest, identity, and rebellion against oppressive systems, set in a future where humanity has conquered an alien world and its inhabitants. The narrative follows a group of graduating students from the Star Institute of Advanced Science as they visit a museum showcasing the remnants of the defeated native population. The story centers around the class president, Billy Kasker, who unknowingly harbors the identity of a native swapped at birth. As the class tours the ruins of the conquered civilization under the guidance of their instructor, they indulge in a patronizing view of the natives. Tension escalates when Kasker encounters a brown-skinned native who reveals their shared past. With this connection, Kasker becomes embroiled in a plot to liberate the oppressed natives, culminating in a transformation of his role from a naïve conqueror to an ally intent on altering the fate of his people. The novel ultimately critiques systemic oppression and the complexities of identity, culminating in a powerful moment of rebellion and hope for the future.
