Product Information

#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 . . . Persuasively describes the phenomenon of belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to neither." -- The New York Times Book Review "Obama's writing is incisive yet forgiving. 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

    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.

    Obama Rama

    I began reading this book at a friend's house and found it so interesting that I immediately purchased it as an audiobook. However, I quickly realized that I preferred the text version. Though much has been made of Mr. Obama's incredible speaking skills (he even won a Grammy for the audiobook), in my opinion, his words are MUCH better on the page. (Which is, perhaps, saying a lot?) It's also important to know that the audiobook is pretty seriously abridged. Two chapters have been completely eliminated (criminal, considering the book only has 10 chapters), and the remaining chapters have been condensed, eliminating various details and personal anecdotes. After investing 6+ hours, I'd be annoyed to find that the book I experienced wasn't the same book everyone else experienced. How they ...

    Paperback used at resonable price.

    We are a Book Club of 6 retired woman who get together once a month and discuss a book choosen by the group. Our Book Club likes to choose books that enlilghten us on relevant topics and cultures. We discuss how the book relates to us personally as well as nationally or globally. Geting insight into Obama at this time with the presidentionl nomination coming up was great. The book helped to clarify some of the misconceptions that might have been inferred in the media. (lack of significant involvement in Islamic practices or philosophy) At the writing of the book he didnt seem to have aspirations for the highest level of politics so hopefully there was no "spin" to it.

    Re-release from 1995

    Well-written, thought-provoking, and refreshingly non-political. Barack Obama wrote this book BEFORE he entered the political arena. Essentially an autobiography of his unusual beginnings. I admire that he allowed it to be re-released in its original version, without cleaning up some parts. He is honest about his college experiences, his drug use, and his thoughts about the projects in Chicago. I had to mark this Good instead of Excellent, because the middle part, about learning to organize the poor for reform in Chicago did get a bit tedious. The beginning about his childhood, and the last part about returning to his roots in Africa, were fascinating. Regardless of your political persuasions, you will enjoy this book!

    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.
