Before Barack Obama became a politician he was, among other things, a writer. Dream from My Father is his masterpiece: a refreshing, revealing portrait of a young man asking the big questions about identity and belongings. The son of a black African father and a white American mother, Obama recounts an emotional odyssey. He retraces the migration of his mother's family from Kansas to Hawaii, 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 least reconciles his divided inheritance.
