Introduction
Welcome!
To dive into this new unit, you will engage in a quest to gather information about this concept of "a single story." You will meet Nigerian novelist and speaker Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie as well as read, listen, and observe messages about one-sided narrative and their implications.
Exposure (stay open-minded) and multiplicity of perspectives is a goal to keep in mind as you explore the resources.
