Kritik
"Tolkien, Race, and Racism in Middle-earth is still an extremely valuable contribution to Tolkien Studies, and it represents the most thorough treatment thus far of these matters. ... Sturat's book provides important research for such acknowledgement and analysis, and is therefore a worthy addition to the Tolkien scholar's library." (Robert T. Tally, Mythlore, Vol. 41 (1), October, 2022)mehr
