Description

"ONLY' IN AMERICA AM I AFRICAN," opened Chimamanda Adichie, the Nigerian-born novelist, tossing a furtive look across the mostly American crowd assembled at UNLV's Beam Music Center. "Being African means being hyper-aware. That I come from a place that is grossly misunderstood by a lot of people ... breeds a certain kind of defensiveness. This applies in my writing as well because I find myself thinking, should I write about this? Will they misunderstand?" Adichie was one of five African writers assembled for the Black Mountain Institute panel "From Apartheid to Darfur: Africa's Struggle Against Disdain," an event moderated by Nobel Laureate and Black Mountain Senior Fellow Wole Soyinka on September 11, 2007. The panel was conceived by Soyinka and Black Mountains's senior staff to, in Soyinka's words, "narrate in different forms, from different perspectives, [these writers'] relationship with this huge conglomerate called the African continent."
