Artists should be able to write about other people' s situations, culture, race from there point of view. As artists they should have that freedom because they entertain us. We wouldn't tell an artists who paints a mural and another who paints fruit his wrong if thats what they were inspired to paint than they should paint it. I think its the same with writers Uwem Akpan writes his book from a point of view from children but his not a child the book is so well written that we don't realize his an adult writing these stories.
If Immaculee IIibagiza would agree because the most important thing is getting the word out about Rwanda genocied.I think it would hurt her to read these stories like "My Parents Bedroom"and remember everything she went though but she would agree the writer is doing a great job in writing about the Rewanda genocide.
