    Negativity, western literature

    Explanation:

    Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her TED talk on the danger of a single story, noted that the single story of Africa comes from western literature. Adichie went on to quote a historic writing of a London merchant John Locke - who after sailing to West Africa, gave a fascinating account of black Africans as "beasts who have no houses," and "people without heads, having their mouth and eyes in their breasts."

    Adichie said John Locke's narrative marked the beginning of story telling that described Africa as place of darkness, negatives as well as a place where people - in the words of a poet Rudyard Kipling - are "half devil, half child."
