About this product

Product Information

Includes the senator's speech from the 2004 Democratic National Convention 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.

    An Amazingly Candid Autobiography

    "Dreams from My Father," written by U.S. Senator and presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Hussein Obama, is a candid autobiography which portrays Obama's struggles with racial identity being the son of black Kenyanian man Barack Hussein Obama Sr. and white American Stanley "Ann" Dunham. The father unable to take Ann and Barack with him to Harvard University after winning a scholarship. He left the family, and him and Ann divorced. Barack only saw his father one more time when he was 10 years old. When a distant relative informed Barack of his father's untimely death in an automobile accident, Barack decided to explore his heritage. Prior to his father's death, Barack lived in Indonesia with his mother, stepfather, and half-sister. His mother sent him to live with her parents in ...

    Good understanding about Obama but study his hints and people

    I wanted to understand president Obama and this is a good start, but I recommend reading/listening to Obama's books and then get Obama Nation. Barrack Obama is a very confused man, and I would think being from a white mother and black father he would be more powerful in drawing people together but has ignored his white side and attached himself to his father who left him behind while his white family took care of him. He certainly is influenced but radical black racist mentors,

    Words Whites don't usually hear.

    I am white and grew up in Oakland. Most of my friends were black. In the mid 60's, things started to get ugly. Friendships broke apart along racial lines. Even though I was being taught in school that the civil war had ended slavery and America was the land of the free, I was, at age 12, becomming aware of the "original sin" of America that Obama speaks of. Now, at age 55, this book provides some answers to questions that started in my head so long ago. This book is about race and that's a fact. If you are white, you will hear things that you might not ever get to hear any other way. This is a black man speaking to you. He is intelligent and well spoken. He is our President. This is not a political book. If you want that, then read Obama's other book, The Audacity of Hope.

    Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama

    This book helped me to have a better understanding of Barak H. Obama II, and have a better understanding of the underpinnings of his values (very conerning). . . with Barak as the president curent president this book provides a good view of the significant racial bias he has already evidenced and liberal view point espouse during this first few months in office. Learn about this new president by reading the book and be very . . . very . . . afraid. You will really have a better appreciation of the risk to this country and the world by reading "his" book.

    Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama

    I think it was a good insight into President Barack Obama's background as well as a detailed justification as to why he is the way he is today. I disliked the fact that he spent so long on his roots back in Kenya. It became a bit redundant. Other than that the book was magnificent! --Keith
