Description
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, President 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 last reconciles his divided inheritance.

An account of the life of Obama in his own words, the period covering his life up to his marriage. An honest account describing his dilemma about his identity, his travel to his fatherland Kenya. A personal glimpse into the life of Barrack Obama one of the fantastic success stories of modern times. Highly recommended.

One becomes a proper human only when he knows his history. You definitely have a choice to like it or not, believe in it or not but knowing it is only what that matters. It gives you justification for the struggles of past or the struggles in present but prepares your against the struggles of future.

Great read to accompany Obama in his journey and struggle for identity.
Felt pretty slow and repetitive until the middle of the book it speeds up after he meets his sister. Must read to understand the black men struggle in America and in the world.
