“If you start the story with the arrows of the Native Americans and not with the arrival of the British then you have an entirely different story.  Start the story with the failure of the African state and not with the colonial creation of the African State and you have an entirely different story.”

TED, October 2009 Chimamanda Adichie on the dangers of stopping at a single story of a place or people.
