But these narratives describe different but inseparable elements of the same history. 13 papers explore ways to integrate the 'good' and 'bad' narratives into coherent, intertwined histories, using theoretical analyses and case studies from five continents. It is the first publication to centrally focus on this question and its repercussions.…
