Before Barack Obama became a politician he was, among other things, a writer. Dreams from My Father is his masterpiece: a refreshing, revealing portrait of a young man asking the big questions about identity and belonging.
The son of a black African father and a white American mother, Obama recounts an emotional odyssey. He retraces the migration of his mother’s family from Kansas to Hawaii, then to his childhood home in Indonesia. Finally he travels to Kenya, where he confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.
'Provocative ... Persuasively describes the phenomenon of belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to neither.'
New York Times
'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, bestselling author of The Laws of Our Fathers
