Little Colonists Big Africa

Hey guys! This week we are talking about and reflecting on power, privilege and who gets generally tells the story after reading a piece from Adichie's The Thing Around Your Neck. Analyzing the stories we have read this year I was surprised when I found out that almost all of the narrators of the stories or the authors themselves, were underdogs or minorities. This is especially the case with this story as a continent is harshly colonized by a small group of individuals with firearms and superior technology. The citizens don't give in because they feel less than the intruders, but so that they do not create backlash or an even more strained relationship. So, while the colonists forcibly take the privilege and the power the new subsiding central population tells the story. See you all next week!
