How can we give voice to silent and “invisible people” in a globalized world? Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has warned us on the “danger of a single story,” and French world historian Romain Bertrand tries to narrate the past from a global and equalitarian way. Farah Griffin examines the lives of African- American female artists and activists in Harlem during WWII (in Harlem Nocturne just published by Basic Civitas Books), while Siddhartha Deb pays homage, in his cultural and narrative analysis, to the variety of people and classes in contemporary India. These four internationally acclaimed writers discuss the effects of narratives, and the advantages of a global perspective in writing history and fiction.
