In that talk, she explores the way we risk serious misunderstanding if we know one story about a person or a culture and think as a result that we know that person or culture.
We are all more complex than the labels we put on ourselves and one another. We are all more complex than the assumptions we make based on the few things we know.
We are all more than a single story.
And so is this book.

Indeed.
