DREAMS FROM MY FATHER : STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE – BARACK OBAMA

An international bestseller which has sold over a million copies in the UK, Dreams From My Father is a refreshing, revealing portrait of a young man asking big questions about identity and belonging. The son of a Black African father and a white American mother, Barack Obama recounts an emotional odyssey, retracing the migration of his mother s family from Kansas to Hawai i, 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. Written nearly fifteen years before becoming president, Dreams from My Father is an unforgettable read. It illuminates not only Obama s journey, but also our universal desire to understand our history and what makes us who we are.
