"Provocative . . . Persuasively describes the phenomenon of belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to neither." -New York Times Book Review "Fluidly, calmly, insightfully, Obama guides us straight to the intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and race." -Washington Post Book World "Beautifully crafted . . . moving and candid . . . this book belongs on the shelf beside works like James McBride's The Color of Water and Gregory Howard Williams's Life on the Color Line as a tale of living astride America's racial categories." -Scott Turow "Obama's writing is incisive yet forgiving.

Synopsis
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * ONE OF ESSENCE 'S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS In this iconic memoir of his early days, Barack Obama "guides us straight to the intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and race" ( The Washington Post Book World ). "Quite extraordinary."--Toni Morrison In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father--a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man--has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey--first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother's family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father's life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. Praise for Dreams from My Father "Beautifully crafted . . . moving and candid . . . This book belongs on the shelf beside works like James McBride's The Color of Water and Gregory Howard Williams's Life on the Color Line as a tale of living astride America's racial categories." --Scott Turow "Provocative . . .

This is a book worth savoring." --Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here "One of the most powerful books of self-discovery I've ever read, all the more so for its illuminating insights into the problems not only of race, class, and color, but of culture and ethnicity. It is also beautifully written, skillfully layered, and paced like a good novel." --Charlayne Hunter-Gault, author of In My Place " Dreams from My Father is an exquisite, sensitive study of this wonderful young author's journey into adulthood, his search for community and his place in it, his quest for an understanding of his roots, and his discovery of the poetry of human life. Perceptive and wise, this book will tell you something about yourself whether you are black or white." --Marian Wright Edelman, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this iconic memoir of his early days, Barack Obama "guides us straight to the intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and race" ( The Washington Post Book World ).

  • Cant make myself do it

    I have been trying very hard to make myself read this book with very limited success. I believe Obama is someone who intended to fundamentally change America, in the very worst possible ways, and has succeeded to a large extent. I believe we are worse off in almost every measurable way and in almost every non measurable way since the beginning of his first term. I bought the book hoping to gain some insights but nausea has kept me from devouring this book where as I am usually voracious with my books. What I did read was definitely consistent with what I see as his "roots". He grew up everywhere but here and in societies that bear very remote resemblance to the American way. No surprise he cant embrace what being an American is. Read at your own peril.

  • Who knew Obama could write so compellingly

    I bought this because I really enjoyed "The Audacity of Hope" about his views on and experiences in politics during his Senate years and earlier. This, however, is an in-depth biography of Obama and his family and the times he's lived through in various countries. What an enchanting boyhood, but how scary! He could have died from several situations and then we would have missed his great Presidency and the efforts he's made to give us all more hope. I recommend both of his books and can hardly wait for the next one when he recovers from the White House years and tells us all about that journey.
