The danger of a single story

A great TED talk from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie:




I just finished her collection of short stories called The Thing Around Your Neck. Purple Hibiscus is the only one of her novel's I've read but I loved it. Her TED talk is a fascinating look at the power dynamics of ascribing a "single story" to a place or a people.

Check it out.

  1. Single story. That's it. A different way to imagine how many of us see the world as flat. Brava Chimamanda Adichie! (Thanks for posting this Kelsey!)
