In "A Private Experience," a story about a deadly riot in the market in Kano, Adiche powerfully critiques human divisions--religious, economic, ethnic--and the prejudices and stereotypes that deepen them to weeks of fear, misunderstanding, and hate. The encounter of two characters divided proves that personal experiences with those unlike ourselves can bridge these divides.

"Cell One" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche
The narrator's privileged, coddled brother begins stealing from the family when he sees his friends stealing from neighbors. He is never held accountable, and his behavior grows more entitled and risky. The boys around him form cults, and the violence between groups escalates at their posh school, drawing the attention of a corrupt, dangerous police force excited to punish them.
