Since the 1990s, literary and queer studies scholars have eschewed Marxist and Foucauldian critique and hailed the reparative mode of criticism as a more humane and humble way of approaching literature and culture.

In The Ruse of Repair, Patricia Stuelke locates the reparative turn's hidden history in the failed struggle against US empire and neoliberal capitalism in the 1970s and 1980s. She

"Deserts have a long religious history. Think of the biblical stories of the ancient Israelites migrating through deserts after they had been freed from slavery in Egypt, and the stories from the New Testament of Jesus being tempted in the desert. Early Christian monks and hermits were deeply influenced by such stories, drawing from them the lesson that the desert is an important place.
