When adapting a book - does race have any relevance?
It must matter to someone when the adaptation diverges from the text. Changing it to "what the world looks like today" is a mistake; it just dates the new work as much as the original text might. Write a new, original, contemporary story for the purpose. That said, adaptations like Godspell or The Wiz is a different genre that works better. They are more "retelling" than adaptation. I don't know the name for it, but that's a better way. Perhaps they are the dreaded "allegory," and such a treatment on Tolkien is blasphemy. ;)
