The Danger of a Single Story
Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.
Chimamanda Adichie’s talk was filmed July 2009 at TEDGlobal 2009 in Oxford, United Kingdom. Released on the TED website on October 2009, Adichie used her 18 minutes to address what she calls “the danger of the single story.”
