About
- I'm Jennifer Brea a writer, aspiring political scientist, and Afro-optimist. Currently, I'm a first-year graduate student in the Department of Government at Harvard University.
Africabeat used to be only about Africa. It's still *mostly* about Africa, but now, in an effort to simplify my online life, it's also about everything related to what I love: travel, politics, writing, academia, and the hope that we can do better.
No plans to change the name; that's still where my heart beats.

States and Power in Africa - I first realized I wanted to be a political scientist while reading this book for the second time. Stresses imposed borders, population density and the problem of "broadcasting" authority as key challenges to African political development.

An African man comments on the China-Africa Summit in Beijing.
Hi Jennifer. I wanted to point out a recent post by Chippla (Chippla's Weblog), a Nigerian professional living in and writing from The Netherlands. I left a comment there and added a note that his readers should come over to your place to study your work as well. Here is the link to Chippla's latest piece:
http://chippla.blogspot.com/2006/11/china-africa-summit.html
I'm almost ready with my own post(s) about the summit... 22 pages of text. You think that I need to edit it a bit more before publishing to my blog?
BTW: Where did you find all of these great photos of the exhibits and posters?

Ornella - thanks for your comment and I am glad you find this site useful. You're welcome to use any of the photos you see here or on my Flickr site so long as you provide attribution. Also, I would love to read your thesis whenver you finish it.
Bill - I'm woefully behind in both reading and writing about the summit. However, I promise I will read and respond to your article in due time as well as write about some of the conversations and speeches I've been a party to. Better late than never? At any rate, this is certainly not a story that will go away any time soon.
