Annotations of key quotes
“You wanted to feel disdain, to show it as you brought his order, because white people who liked Africa
too much and those who liked Africa too little were the same—condescending” (Adichie 48).
In this quote, Ujunwa recognizes that the white organizer was as equally racist as the people who had
nasty things to say about Africa. When she realizes this, she becomes disenchanted with the retreat and
increasingly hostile. This shows that stereotyping people, whether with good traits or bad traits, is a
problem.
