This talk will summarize key findings and concepts from the book project "Black Knights: Arabic Epic and the Making of Medieval Race." From around the 12th century, popular epics studded with Black heroes and staged as glorious histories of the Muslims' triumphs circulated across regions and social classes in the Arabic-speaking world. This talk explores the significance of this body of lore for understanding the history of racialization.
