| Chimamanda Adichie |
In my Humanities class this week, we are discussing world literature and stereotyping of different cultures One of the authors we talked about is Nigerian author Chimamanda Adichie. She gave a very interesting talk about "The Danger of the Single Story" and how the single story creates stereotypes. I wanted to share it with you today.
Her talk is well worth listening too and also made me curious about her and her books which fit in well with our armchair traveling mini challenge.

She's an interesting woman and I look forward to reading her books and the start of my armchair traveling through the continent of Africa. Speaking of which, how is your armchair traveling going? Visited any where interesting lately?

ReplyDeleteSorry, Robin, somehow I put down the old title instead of the current one for no. 6. I don't know how to delete it, but if you want to get around to it, that would be great!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
