One of the points many of us Africans raise when arguing about the need for a re-branding of Africa is the inaccuracy of the image which represent us. While I can go on and on about the problems with the image the global community has tagged the continent and it’s people with, I often choose to spend my energy emphasizing an alternative definition of Africa(ns). My question though is, I know many of us agree on the need to change the image of Africa, but what would describe that image as? Certainly I’m not talking about how we go about promoting the successes of Africa’s business and people, but rather what we would describe those alternative images as. It can be regional, national, or continental. I know it’s a loaded question, but I’m putting together a post on the African demographic (if you could call it that) and would like some input. I’m sure everyone has their opinions about whether we should classify all Africans, but what I am looking to pinpoint is the similarities AND differences between the various regions and cultures. Call it an impromptu survey if you will. You can comment below, use my contact form, or email me at blog(at)annansi.com. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
