As some of you may know, our team has been featured on the Africa.com blog over the past few weeks.

This week an Article that I wrote was published on their blog, and I would love to hear what other people think about my "Thoughts on defining 'Africa'". In writing I tried to be as sensitive as possible to avoid the kind of generalization that is to a somewhat ironic extent the topic of my article. I am thus open to hearing other views on this, so please do comment if you have any thoughts.
