No one ever asks nonfiction writers about style so I just wanted to share 2 style points, and to thank @hammerandhope.bsky.social for an editorial process that absolutely got it. Writing is always collaborative even with one name on the byline and editors are great. hammerandhope.org/article/kenya-

I'll say it a thousand times -- any account of the past that only celebrates the good parts of a nation without reckoning with the bad is not what we call "history" It is propaganda, pure and simple.

This thread about how we have white-washed (and more) the period prior to WWII should be read alongside @profhajaryazdiha.bsky.social's The Struggle for the People's King that tells a similar story of the struggle for civil rights. Seems like the same process of historical retelling post-hoc.
