This week on IntoIt with host samsanders: The response to Black characters in TheRingsOfPower and TheLittleMermaid shows exactly why our make-believe stories need a shake-up
You’ve said that whiteness is so entrenched in western fantasy that when a Black character just shows up, it’s shocking.
I wouldn’t call it a valid critique, but I have sympathy. It’s coming from people in an ingrained power structure that have been carefully taught to see the world as white-and-heroic and dark-and-savage. That was how they were taught, but we do have an obligation as a society to begin to unlearn those lessons.I hear you.
It’s complicated. If you were to twist my arm and tell me I could only have ten books with me for the rest of my life,does make that list. I loved the prose, the myth-building. However, I would agree that Tolkien was a man of his time. For all his progressiveness, he could have been a mentor of one of the greatest Black academics of the 20th century,Yes. He went to Tolkien and he recounts that he was rebuffed. Tolkien did not think that he had promise.
