This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for america that I've seen before include "Continent consisting of two great land masses" , "Song title shared by Sondheim-Bernstein and Paul Simon among others" , "Race aim (anag)" , "Camera I take to the continent, oddly" , "Camera I used in New World" .)
