Dreams from My Father A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama (Paperback) Book

Years before becoming the 44th President-elect of the United States, Barack Obama published Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, a lyrical, unsentimental, and powerfully affecting memoir, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller when it was reissued in 2004. It tells the story of Obama's struggle to understand the forces that shaped him as the son of a black African father and white American mother -- a struggle that takes him from the American heartland to the ancestral home of his great-aunt in the tiny African village of Alego.

A searching meditation on the meaning of identity in America, Dreams from My Father might be the most revealing portrait we have of a major American leader—a man who is playing the most prominent role in healing a fractious and fragmented nation.
