Useful passage for our present moment's obsession with "positive" and "unifying" and celebratory history:

"Histories of failure are by definition unnationalistic ... Borderlands history invites a deeper look at past failures because failures tell stories that unmake national histories."

-- Ned Blackhawk, The Rediscovery of America, p. 27-28.
