Abstract:
This article argues that N.K. Jemisin’s The City We Became can be read through several Arthurian intertexts to register her interventions into the fantasy fiction genre. The following considers writing in the shadow of Arthurian literature as a means to reject racial and colonial logics that have become fused with medievalist fantasy.
