ARE YOU A 'PART-TIME AFRICAN'?
There is always something new out of African Studies. Being an 'Africanist' one is daily confronted with new ways of describing Africans. Today I have encountered the following description which might actually help me make sense of what exactly is an 'Afropolitan' :
"Sure, we still want our institutions of higher learning to produce responsible citizens but (many of) these citizens are (also) going to live all over the world as part-time Africans. And even those who remain in Africa will have a second life in technology-based imagined communities" - Leonhard Prage on A Right Space for African Studies
