I'm enjoying this book "Half of a Yellow Sun" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, so much! It is so beautifuly written. It tells the story of the Nigerian Civil War, when the minority, repressed Igbos in Southeastern Nigeria established the independent republic of Biafra. For me something I did hardly know anything about....
I can also really recommend Chimamanda's TED-talk in which she speaks about the danger of a single story: http://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story.html
A beautiful talk, by a beautiful woman :)
Thank you Kira for telling me about her!
