    'The contributors to this volume have repeatedly commented on the results of the study. To heal from traumatizing experiences. They denounce the process of "Othering" and stereotyping and put the spotlight on the various attempts at subverting damaging negative stereotypes. They reveal the "dark side" of the colonial governance of post-colonial reconstruction and rewritings of other colonial gestures, such as discovery and conquest. To a certain extent, following Romaine Moreton's advice, they attempt to "reframe those negative experiences".'
