Otaño Gracia, Nahir I. The Other Faces of Arthur: Chivalric Whiteness in the Global North Atlantic. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2025.
Considers Arthurian romances in Scandinavia, Britain, Iberia and North Africa in the 12th-15th centuries. The work examines whiteness as constructed through chivalry in the global North Atlantic. Otaño Gracia argues that the translation and circulation of these texts embedded racial hierarchies and served to normalize domination and violence. The book will interest scholars of Arthuriana, chivalry, translation studies, and the global medieval world.
