Tolkien, Race, and Racism in Middle-earth is the first systematic
examination of how Tolkien understood racial issues, how race
manifests in his oeuvre, and how race in Middle-earth, his
imaginary realm, has been understood, criticized, and appropriated
by others. This book presents an analysis of Tolkien's works for
conceptions of race, both racist and anti-racist. It begins by
demonstrating that Tolkien was a racialist, in that his mythology
is established on the basis of different races with different
characteristics, and then poses the key question "Was Tolkien
racist?" Robert Stuart engages the discourse and research
associated with the ways in which racism and anti-racism relate
Tolkien to his fascist and imperialist contemporaries and to
twenty-first-century neo-Nazis and White Supremacists-including
White Supremacy, genocide, blood-and-soil philology, anti-Semitism,
and aristocratic racism. Addressing a major gap in the field of
Tolkien studies, Stuart focuses on race, racisms and the Tolkien
legendarium.
