[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding race in this series. I think the book had racial prejudice in Gilead, but the series has largely been race-blind. I’m unsure why. There are several pre-Gilead interracial couples besides June’s marriage and we see AA Commanders and Wives, as well as AA stolen children. I don’t recall any AS high ranked. But lots of Asian handmaids, Econopeople, and Eyes. However, the refugees in Canada seem much more racially and ethnically diverse than Gilead.[/quote] Well the book followed the headlines in 1984, according to Atwood, so there would be more focus on interracial couples. Now they are drawing on feeling in the current time frame to make Gilead as relatable as possible. [/quote]
