Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

Includes the senator's speech from the 2004 Democratic National Convention!

In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his fatherâ‚¬"a figure he knows more as a myth than as a manâ‚¬"has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odysseyâ‚¬"first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his motherâ‚¬s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his fatherâ‚¬s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.
