The Earth Quarter by Damon Knight

"The Earth Quarter" by Damon Knight is a science fiction novel published in 1961. In a future where Earth lies devastated, human expatriates struggle as second-class citizens in alien ghettos across the galaxy. When a violent faction rejects peaceful coexistence and launches a devastating campaign against alien worlds, the consequences threaten the fragile existence of all Earth's displaced people. Knight explores themes of prejudice, displacement, and humanity's darker nature through this bitterly cynical tale of survival and retribution. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
