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.

Books on Africa

  • 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.
