First edition, first printing. Published by Knopf in New York, 1964. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper has some bumping to the spine tips and some slight bumping to the corners. It has not been price clipped. The boards, in black cloth, are slightly bumped at the spine tips. The text blocks are slightly foxed to the side edge. This copy is free from previous owner’s ink and is, overall, in near fine condition.

White Lotus tells of her enslavement as a girl of 15 when a yellow race overran Arizona and took her to an eastern country. An allegory with parallels to the Negro-white history in America.
