The post (and attached comments) are interesting in themselves and the post also contains a link to a "video of a speech given by Nigerian author Chimamanda Adichie, titled “The Danger of a Single Story,”" which is very thought-provoking.Laura Vivancohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906661869372622821noreply@blogger.com
