Dreams From My Father by Barack Obama


Non-fiction

President Barack Obama tells the story of his life as the son of a black African father and a white American mother, searching for a workable meaning to his life as an African American. Obama grew up mainly in Hawaii. He lived for several years in Indonesia as well after his mother married again. After college, he worked for three years as a community organizer on Chicago's South Side. Then, finally, he went to Kenya, to find the world of his dead father, his "authentic" self.
