Dimitra Fimi's Tolkien, Race and Cultural History was released in 2008 as hardback. A paperback edition is forthcoming from Palgrave Macmillan, estimated for August 2010.
In his review which can be read in Tolkien Studies vol. 6 Thomas Honegger writes about Fimi's book:
Fimi's study is well worth reading for the specialist as well as (or even more so) for the general reader. The author brings together (often for the first time) relevant research from cultural history and lays out her arguments fair and square [...] Fimi's approach [...] forces us to reconsider some well-beloved clichés. Thus, it will no longer be possible to talk naïvely about the linguistic inspiration of Tolkien's fiction without adding at least some qualifying remarks [...] Fimi's book has given us some answers but has also opened up some avenues for future research. What more can we ask for?
The table of contents taken from the hardback edition devides Fimi's book into three parts:
