Armstrong, Dorsey. "Postcolonial Palomides: Malory’s Saracen Knight and the Unmaking of the Arthurian Community." Exemplaria 18, no. 1 (2006): 175–203.
Engages racialization in the portrayal of a character coded as “Saracen” from medieval English Arthurian literature. The essay argues that the “Saracen” knight ultimately serves to place a limit upon an idealized chivalric community, posing a problem that cannot be resolved through their embodied presence. The work engages the study of conversion, embodiment, and medieval English literature.
