ナレーター：
In 1971, months out of high school, Witney Schneidman found himself at a secondary school in Mbarara, Uganda listening on the radio as Idi Amin announced his takeover the country. He soon understood that Africa was a continent of sweeping change—colonialism was ending, independence was on the march, and liberation movements were fighting tall odds to end white rule in Southern Africa— and he made the decision to dedicate his life to fostering strong ties between the United States and African nations.
Schneidman details the many risks and setbacks that stood between him and his dream of shaping U.S. policy toward Africa and contributing to progress on the continent. He recalls the isolation of being the only American studying at a university in Tanzania at the height of the Cold War, travel across 30 African countries, and policy successes that formed the cornerstone of U.S.-Africa relations. His inspiring story is a clarion call about the importance of engaging with the continent shaping the future of the world.

批評家のレビュー
This is one of the most deeply thoughtful memoirs I've ever read. Witney makes extraordinary life choices that will inspire readers to reconsider their own possibilities and decisions. He also makes many faraway places relatable and complex subjects understandable. From early on, Witney sought to be a bridge between Africa and the United States. He has succeeded far beyond his expectations in his groundbreaking work, his unique life, and his deeply personal writing.
This Africa Idea delivers a sweeping yet concise survey of U.S. policy toward Africa in recent decades, impressively interwoven with a candid personal and professional narrative. Witney makes a compelling case for the benefits of greater U.S. business engagement on the continent – for both Americans and Africans. Few people have worked harder to promote it. This story is fast-paced, informative, and very enjoyable.
Witney’s engaging account of his decades of determined work seeking to connect our nation with the African continent is a guide to all who hope to build bridges with the region. His compelling story makes clear this work is not always easy, but with the lessons learned from his project the next generation will have a well-lit path to follow toward a bright future for America and Africa.
Schneidman offers something rare in American writing about Africa: a firsthand account that refuses the single story of impossibility, and insists instead on a continent of contrasts, punctuations, and possibility. This is a captivating memoir for anyone who wants to understand where Africa has been — and where it's going next.
Witney Schneidman has been witness to many of the most significant moments and developments in Africa for nearly five decades…he writes with the authority of someone who has sat across the table from liberation movement leaders, heads of state and CEOs alike, making this a rewarding read about Africa's place in the global economy. We emerge from this fascinating book much better informed about the forces that have shaped the continent’s development, and having gotten to know a person of high principle, great achievement and – always – a true friend of Africa.
