"Left Turns in Brown Study is a poetic-theoretical inquiry into the entwinement of study and mourning. Sandra Ruiz writes for and with a chorus of departed voices, from deceased teachers to illiterate ancestors to victims of colonial violence, in order to grapple with grief and the way it is carried by minoritarian subjects. Ruiz proposes "brown study," a term first used in the sixteenth century to denote the act of depressive study, as key for understanding the ways that Brownness is perpetually constructed through the grievance of colonial encroachment and citational practice. Working from an archive of Black and Brown activism and theory, Ruiz creates a polyphonic and typographically experimental text that explores study as an emancipatory practice. Ruiz builds a minoritarian citational ethics of Black and Brown theory that will be crucial to those theorizing Latinx and minoritarian aesthetics"--
