114 - Race, Tolkien, and Middle-earth

Published: Feb. 24, 2019, 4 p.m.

b'For the first time ever, the Prancing Pony Podcast is proud to release one of our patron-exclusive episodes to our general audience. In this special originally released in October 2018, we take a serious look at a topic that\\u2019s not always easy to address. Tolkien\\u2019s work has occasionally been labeled as racially insensitive or (in some cases) outright racist. It\\u2019s something no Tolkien fan wants to hear, but is there any truth to it? We take a close look at the texts and Tolkien\\u2019s letters to attempt to dispel some myths\\u2026 and confront some real concerns.\\xa0
