About this talk

As nossas vidas, as nossas culturas, são compostas por muitas histórias sobrepostas. A romancista Chimamanda Adichie conta a história de como descobriu a sua voz cultural - e adverte que se ouvirmos apenas uma história sobre outra pessoa ou país, arriscamos um desentendimento crítico.
