So beautifully & convincingly spoken: “The problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story. …I’ve always felt it impossible to engage properly with a place or a person without engaging with all of the stories of that place and that person. The consequence of the single story is this: it robs people of dignity. … Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity. …When we reject the single story, when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.”
