University teaches course on how to 'decolonize' Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings'

The University of Nottingham is facing backlash for offering a course aimed at decolonizing the works of renowned British authors like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. This initiative has sparked controversy as it challenges traditional interpretations of classic literature, raising questions about cultural representation and the relevance of these narratives in today's society. The debate highlights the ongoing discourse around inclusivity in literature and education, making it a significant topic for both students and scholars.
