My first challenge: "The danger of a single story" by Chamamanda Ngozi Adichie Today a friend of mine introduced me a marvelous novelist called Chamamanda Ngozi Adichie, who had published several talks’ videos in TED.com web platform. My friend asked me to write a summary about one of her talks. So, I will try to do something. This writer is talking about "the danger of a single story", I mean, she is explaining the World´s common History. A single story is a point of view of conquers, is an incomplete view about cultures and people. It´s the position of economy power, a stereotyped view of money and homogenization of human been. A lot of examples are exposed by Chamamanda, she took them from her own experience: a partial look of Africa like a “country” poorest and a region full of catastrophe, without consider that there are millions of Africans people whose hard working and potential is complete unnoticed, as well as their own stories. Instead of that it is common to see the prevalence of a single story that make people believe that all stories, for example, are only from white persons or power’s men, and the world is organized and respond to this guidelines. Therefore, social and ideological institutions like family, language, school, religion, governments, state, literature, politics, etc., can promote and protect this single story, making very comfortable the world to official historians and power men who defend their single point of view. I said before Chamamanda´s talk is about the World´s common History. The Human beens´ homogenization and neocolonialism is clear dangerous to diversity, to the plurality of stories, to the respect to the differences between people, to the linguistic variety and imagination…, and this is supported by the construction and diffusion of stereotypes that become and destroy, at once, our thought and damage our relationships with others human beens. I liked Chamamanda´s speech very much, it is so hopeful and critical. Her words question the status quo. And they have motivated me enough to read it in her fiction books. Does anyone knows where I can download her novels? And will they be translated into Spanish? Thanks.
