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.

Those China Africa Billboards

I just unearthed this Danwei TV segment from last fall's China-Africa summit.  At the Delhi Hibiscus meeting in December I remarked how the billboards - which featured photographs of pyramids, Kenyan safaris, and scantily-clad Africans - showed just how little the Chinese know about Africa.  Here, you can see some of them for yourselves.  Apparently one billboard features an "African native" who is actually, Jeremy Goldkorn tells us, from Papua New Guinea.  But he has brown skin so that counts, right?

Danwei TV regularly produces cool and informative clips on social and cultural happenings in Beijing and around China.

(And here is a version of the clip with Chinese subtitles)
