Tonight on PBS I'm joined by acclaimed Nigerian-born novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, whose novels including "Americanah" for which she won the National Book Critics Circle Award and "Half of a Yellow Sun" deal with the intersection of race and identity. "Half of a Yellow Sun" is now a motion picture starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Thandie Newton and can currently be seen on various Starz channels.
In this clip Adichie talks about a concept she calls "willful forgetting" which allows us to ignore issues with which we are uncomfortable.
For more of my conversation with Chimamanda, be sure to tune-in to Tavis Smiley on PBS tonight. Check our website for your local TV listings: .
