The danger of “a single story”

I’m a storyteller. […] When I began to write at about the age of 7 […], I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading. All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they played in the snow, they ate apples, they talked about the weather, how lovely it was that the sun had come out. Now this, despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria, I had never been outside Nigeria. We didn’t have snow, we ate mangos, and we never talked about the weather because there was no need to. […] Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign I had become convinced that books, by their very nature, had to have foreigners in them and had to be about things with which I could not personally identify. Well, things changed when I discovered African books. […] I realized that people like me, girls with skin the color of chocolate whose kinky hair could not form pony tails could also exist in literature. I started to write about things I recognized. […] African books saved me from a single story.

Technology is only half the battle

The municipal administration of America’s District of Columbia was once a byword for bad government, with a cocaine snorting mayor, corrupt police and incompetent and demoralized bureaucrats. Now, under a go-ahead mayor, Adrian Fenty, it has become a model practitioner of e-government. The public face of this is a single portal, dc.gov, which allows residents to do almost anything that in the past would have involved either picking up the phone (and hanging on and on) or going to an office and waiting.The site not only lets them find out about every imaginable aspect of the city, but also provides them with a means of acting on the information. This is not just a matter of printing out forms, but often of filling them in and submitting them online too. It is possible to renew a driving license, pay a parking fine, report broken traffic lights, request a visit from the rubbish-collection service, get all manner of permits, see planning applications and pay local taxes.
