“Dreams From My Father A Story Of Race And Inheritance Barack Obama” is the story US President Barack Obama pens himself

After so many written outlays, finally the official one came from the man himself. This is the book to read if you want to understand US President Barack Obama's personal background and how it forms his character. It was written while he was still only an obscure State Senator, written in his spare time, without a ghost writer, while struggling to make ends meet on a state senator's salary. Therefore it is an honest portrait, made before Barack Obama even intended to run for US Senate, much less for President. This book will discuss one aspect of Barack Obama's background, which is his internationalism. I'm writing this shortly after Barack Obama returned from his "campaign trip" abroad, which included fact-finding in Iraq and drawing a crowd of 200,000 fans in Germany. While the mainstream press was overwhelmingly enamored with Barack Obama on that trip, it has become clear upon Barack Obama's return that the voting public has not responded nearly as positively. Barack Obama's popularity abroad relates to Barack Obama's international upbringing, as outlined in this book. In his first book, Dreams From My Father, A Story of Race and Inheritance, Barack Obama takes his readers along on a beautifully crafted journey of self-discovery. First published over a decade ago and recently re-published by Random House, it is a compelling tale not only of race and cultural inheritance, but also of human nature, human experience, life lessons, and personal growth. Barack Obama tells his own life story (which is a fantastic story in itself) in a thoughtful and reflective way. This is the story of a wisely examined life. The fact that readers, regardless of skin color, social background, or cultural heritage can find themselves in its pages reminds us that as human beings we all share plenty of similarities as well as differences. Barack Obama opens his story in New York, where he hears that his father, a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man, has died in a car accident. The news triggers a chain of memories as Barack Obama retraces his family’s unusual history: the migration of his mother’s family from small-town Kansas to the Hawaiian islands; the love that develops between his mother and a promising young Kenyan student, a love nurtured by youthful innocence and the integrationist spirit of the early sixties; his father’s departure from Hawaii when Barack Obama was two, as the realities of race and power reassert themselves; and Barack Obama’s own awakening to the fears and doubts that exist not just between the larger black and white worlds but within himself.
