Conclusion. 330 $aTolkien, 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. Robert Stuart is Associate Professor and Senior Honorary Research Fellow at The University of Western Australia, Australia. His research output has focused on the history of French Marxism, but is now concentrated on the ideological dimension of contemporary genre fantasy literature. 606 $aFiction 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aRace 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aLiterary Criticism 606 $aMedieval Literature 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aRace and Ethnicity Studies 606 $aIntellectual History 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aRace. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 14$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Criticism. 615 24$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aPopular Culture. 615 24$aRace and Ethnicity Studies. 615 24$aIntellectual History. 676 $a809.933552 676 $a828.91209 700 $aStuart$b Robert$032651 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910561296503321 996 $aTolkien, Race, and Racism in Middle-Earth$92834143 997 $aUNINA
