In Left Turns in Brown Study Sandra Ruiz offers a poetic-theoretical inquiry into the interlacing forms of study and mourning. Drawing on Black and Brown activism and theory, Ruiz interweaves poetry, memoir, lyrical essay, and vignettes to examine study as an emancipatory practice. Proposing “brown study” as key for understanding how Brownness harbors loss and suffering along with the possibility for more abundant ways of living, Ruiz invites readers to turn left into the sounds, phrases, and principles of anticolonial ways of reading, writing, citing, and listening. In doing so, Ruiz engages with a panoply of hauntings, ghosts, and spectral presences, from deceased teachers, illiterate ancestors, and those lost to unnatural disasters to all those victims of institutional and colonial violence. Study is shared movement and Brownness lives in citation. Conceptual, poetic, and unconventional, this book is crucial for all those who theorize minoritarian literary aesthetics and think through utopia, queer possibility, and the entwinement of forms.

Brimming with language arts, biblical principles, and nature influences, A Brown Bear’s Language Arts Study takes a charming journey through Thornton Burgess’s story, The Adventures of Buster Bear. Jamie Gault relies on her experience as an educator and mom of eight to promote a consistent read-aloud practice for students ages nine to eleven and their teachers while providing a deeper understanding of biblical principles found in Proverbs and James. Her teacher’s handbook and student workbook cohesively work together to build character in young people through common language arts concepts, detailed lessons, picture studies, and writing exercises that teach students how to pen structured paragraphs while creating an informational piece about brown bears. The exposure, practice, and application of these skills also aid in creating a five-paragraph nonfiction picture book at the end of the unit. A Brown Bear’s Language Arts Study is a creative presentation inspired by biblical principles that shares language arts concepts to promote excellent writing skills in children while encouraging a lifelong love of learning.

1919. With frontispiece by Herman Pfeifer. The Brown Study begins: Brown was so tall and thin, and his study was so low and square, that the one in the other seemed a misfit. There was not much in the study. A few shelves of books-not all learned books by any means-three chairs, one of them a rocker cushioned in a cheerful red; a battered old desk; a broad and rather comfortable looking couch: this was nearly all the study's furniture. There was a fireplace with a crumbling old hearthstone, and usually a roaring fire within; and a chimney-piece above, where stood a few photographs and some odd-looking articles of apparently small value.
