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.

You! Who? Barack 's Story

by   sj1and0 ,  Oct 15, 2008
Pros: Intriguing.
Cons: None!
The Bottom Line:

the book, it was good.

Review: I have an excessive appetite for knowing more about whom our presidential candidates really are, and I thought how better to find out then to read his book. Just like everybody else who holds an idea in their mind about the world in which we now live. ...

"Between my black and white worlds"

by   aohcapablanca ,  Apr 27, 2008
Pros: Barack Obama's life to age 26 helps readers understand the 46 year old presidential candidate.
Cons: Obama arbitrariy plays down his white American ancestry in favor of his black Kenyan genes.
The Bottom Line: Barack Obama's career is now far beyond 1995 when DREAMS FROM MY FATHER APPEARED. Yet he is the same man: brooding, introverted, articulate, idealistic, hopeful. The book unlocks the candidate.
Review: On August 4, 2008 Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. will be 47 years old. As of the spring of 2008, the junior U. S. Senator from Illinois leads Senator Hillary Clinton in the competition to be Democratic Party candidate for President. Questions are asked ...
