Thanks to Michael Margolis for this TED talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on the dangers of a single story. I read ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ when I was in Manila, and it’s really a masterpiece of subtle, simple, complex storytelling from multiple perspectives set against a shocking period in Nigerian history, the Biafran war. This TED talk is a brilliant insight into the dangers of having a single story.
I think I won’t blog any more. Adichie says everything I’d like to say about the importance of holding in mind multiple voices and versions in order to approach what lies at the heart of things.
