Claudia Milian proposes that the economies of blackness, brownness, and dark brownness summon a new grammar for Latino/a studies that she names “Latinities.â€_x009d_ Milian argues that this ensnared economy of meaning startles the typical reading practices deployed for brown Latino/a embodiment. Latining America keeps company with and challenges existent models of Latinidad, demanding a distinct paradigm that puts into question what is understood as Latino and Latina today. Milian conceptually considers how underexplored “Latinâ€_x009d_ participantsâ€"the southern, the black, the dark brown, the Central Americanâ€"have ushered in a new world of “Latinedâ€_x009d_ signification from the 1920s to the present.
