The whole world views Africa from one perspective that they are fed by the European powers. Including africans. We are ignorant as much as thy are regarding the diversity africa has. Leading back to chimamada's ngozi the danger of a single story, Wainania how to write about africa.
Our view of africa creates stereotypes, othering, stigmatizing, segregation, etc. I myself believed that nigeria was this country that speaks one weird language turns out thy have 525 languages in total that have been around for thousands of years, so you can imagine the cultural diversity they have. I also thought Egyptian people still lived as they are depicted in European movies. As well as the Arab. My depiction of these African people shows that i was also under the impression of eurosentrism and was a victim of a single story but thanks to social anthropology i am now able to see beyond what is in front of me
In conclusion we cannot preach about changing the way africa is depicted, when we as africans don't acknowledge the diversity that is in africa we are no different from those who depict africa as a country
