"The Legacy"
President Clinton's Legacy to Africa


Background


Prior to the election of President William Jefferson Clinton, U.S. foreign policy in Africa was largely focused on crisis prevention and resolution and dealing sometimes spasmodically with famine and genocide. However, during the Clinton Administration U.S./Africa relations have evolved into a clear strategy to promote Africa's progress politically, economically, and socially. For the first time in America's history, Africa has been seriously considered in matters of international trade and foreign policy.

Moreover, for too many Americans the image of Africa had been trapped in the past or at best reflected only a sliver of realty. Television images and news stories largely focused on certain images - war, corruption, and famine. However, President Clinton's focus on African countries shed light on the continent's rich heritage, its remarkable renaissance, and its importance as the "cradle of civilization."

The book is also historically significant to American, African, and world foreign policy. As world markets become increasingly inextricably linked, the U.S. and other countries must improve their relations with under developed countries. This book provides an account of how one President improved U.S. relations with an entire continent by focusing on the needs of its various countries and their complex diversities.
