Dystopian Hierarchical Reversals (41 books)

I believe I have “coined” this particular sub-type of dystopian stories (not saying I invented it, just come up with the name). What makes these different than most other dystopian stories is that one group that had been in a subservient or minority status is now in control. The most obvious (and easy to recognize) example would be Planet of the Apes where animals (chimpanzees, orangutans & gorillas specifically) are now in control of people.
Please do not just add any dystopian narratives, I’m looking for ones that specifically have an minority or suppressed group that are now in control.
