Paraphrasing

Hello.

During the reading, the question is popped up.

would you help me understand this sentence?

"The overlapping spaces alluded to above only tell half the story, however."

"Until we acknowledge the specificity of Warsaw in 1949, the full implications of Du Bois's article for understanding racism and genocide and for renewing Holocaust studies and postcolonial studies remain particularlly obscured."

i want to make clear the fist sentence. below from first sentence is the continuing sentence. anyone please paraphrase first sentence.
thank you.

The key to understanding the first sentence seems to be what precedes it, not what follows it. Specifically, one needs to understand what "overlapping spaces" refers to. This does not seem to be possible without further context.
