From Rhinocrisy:

Part of the project of overturning nationalism should involve moving away from ‘national histories’ told from the point of view of a single nation-state protagonist. Going from “this had nothing to do with us,” to “this was a tremendous tragedy for us” takes an important step: it broadens the meaning of us.

Brilliant.
