Adichie knows too well how problems can arise when a narrative has missing pieces. Recently, she attended La Nuit Des Idees (The Night of Ideas) in Paris as a guest speaker. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2018\/jan\/30\/interviewer-asks-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-are-there-bookshops-in-nigeria\">During an interview<\/a>, journalist Caroline Brou&eacute; asked her if Nigeria had bookshops, following with &ldquo;I ask because French people don&rsquo;t know. They know only about Boko Haram.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chimamandaadichie\/photos\/a.469824145943.278768.40389960943\/10155852122575944\/?type=3&amp;theater\">Adichie took to Facebook<\/a>, explaining the problems with asking this question. She writes that such a question perpetuates the notion &ldquo;that Africa is so apart, so pathologically &lsquo;different,&rsquo; that a non-African cannot make reasonable assumptions about life there.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I am a Nigerian writer whose early education was in Nigeria,&rdquo; she continues. &ldquo;It is reasonable to expect that Nigeria has at least one bookshop, since my books are read there. Had the question been &lsquo;is it difficult to get access to books?&rsquo; Or &lsquo;are books affordable?&rsquo; It would have been different, worth engaging with, fair.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ugAcDNbYRzJ-kJ8iVIxa7w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7;text-decoration: none;font-weight: normal !important;border: none\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/909740056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:&#8217;ugAcDNbYRzJ-kJ8iVIxa7w&#8217;,sig:&#8217;t8hbpYgGyYGEi0KmZIphsCj5ORB1sziFJd9I7W4kU-k=&#8217;,w:&#8217;594px&#8217;,h:&#8217;405px&#8217;,items:&#8217;909740056&#8242;,caption: true ,tld:&#8217;com&#8217;,is360: false })});<\/p>\n<p>Check out these six books, which could shape your own views on narratives surrounding feminism, family, African history, and Nigeria. These books can be found in bookstores across the globe &mdash; including those in Nigeria:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ijeawele-Feminist-Manifesto-Fifteen-Suggestions\/dp\/152473313X\"><strong>1. Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto In Fifteen Suggestions<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a contemporary take on feminism, Adichie offers fifteen suggestions on how raising daughters to become empowered and independent women. The book takes the form of a letter to a friend, reminding readers that the roots of feminism can grow out of the conversations we have with the people around us.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/We-Should-All-Be-Feminists\/dp\/110191176X\/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=NNM2HBEQ9042SW7NK39B&amp;dpID=512uStTrWqL&amp;preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&amp;dpSrc=detail\"><strong>2. We Should All Be Feminists<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The point of the book reveals itself in the title, but <em>We Should All Be Feminists<\/em> has so much more to say about the value of gender equality. Adichie redefines feminism by emphasizing the need for inclusion and understanding. Her personal experiences sing through a narrative that does not point fingers, but instead tells the world why gender equality benefits us all.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Americanah-Chimamanda-Ngozi-Adichie\/dp\/0307455920\/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=0307455920&amp;pd_rd_r=VW5EYQGNT71DH4422NGK&amp;pd_rd_w=7bPv4&amp;pd_rd_wg=SSNjl&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=VW5EYQGNT71DH4422NGK&amp;dpID=51DqcAB1gpL&amp;preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&amp;dpSrc=detail\"><strong>3.

Kambili finds an escape from repression that allows her to discover the beauty of defiance and the power of resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie&rsquo;s works fight against &ldquo;The Danger of a Single Story&rdquo; by telling her own tales, challenging the ways we view Africa and the world as a whole.<\/p>\n<div class=\"buffer\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If anyone understands the power of narrative, it&rsquo;s Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
