Šiuose įtraukiančiuose atsiminimuose juodaodžio afrikiečio ir baltosios amerikietės sūnus ieško gyvenimo prasmės. Dvidešimt vienų metų Barackas, studijuodamas Niujorke, netikėtai sužino, kad autoavarijoje žuvo tėvas, jam vis dar mitinė asmenybė. Ši mirtis jį pastūmėja leistis į jausmingus ir kartu intelektualius prisiminimus: iš pradžių mamos šeimos klajonių po Kanzaso miestelius pėdsakais, kurie atveda į Havajus; tada pažintis su Indonezija jo, dar vaiko, akimis. Jau suaugęs Barackas keliauja į Keniją ir susitinka su afrikietiškąja tėvo šeima, čia perpranta karčią tėvo gyvenimo tiesą ir pagaliau pajunta pusiausvyrą suderinęs tokį skirtingą dviejų rasių paveldą.

Assessment Of Books Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

3.5 stars. Its difficult for me to rate this memoir because I deeply respect Barack Obama as a person. This comes at a time of deep division in the country and he remains widely appreciated by many yet politically ostracized by some. His legacy has greatly improved the lives of millions of people, but his politics leaves much to be desired. He has undeniably shaped my world views and I have come to regard him as one of the most intelligent men to ever hold that office. Dreams From My Father

This is one of those books that I want to buy for everyone I know. Apart from any of the political ideas in the book or whether or not one is excited by his presidency, Obama is a fantastic writer -- this is one of the best memoirs I have ever read. Apart from an occasional slip into melodramatic prose (very occasional, and certainly less than the average memoir), the prose balanced clarity and description, and Obama very consciously keeps from slipping into nostalgia or over-idealizing any time

I started reading this a day after Obama's inauguration. Even though I'm not American, it seemed important to do so, and also I was told that the quality of the writing is at least as impressive and the story.It was published in 1995, shortly after Obama graduated from Harvard Law School and covers his life, or rather his search for identity up till then, in three main sections: childhood in Hawaii, Indonesia and back in Hawaii; working in Chicago and visiting Kenya to visit his father's family.

The reviews I have perused are about people's feelings about their projections of what Obama means to them. Reviewers are sharing their feelings about the symbolism of Obama, and not reviewing the book. And as a symbol - wow - what a wide variety of feelings from far extremes he represents.Thirteen years ago I read this out of curiosity. We just weren't sure what he would have to say. At the time it wasn't exactly a bestseller. But it was worth checking out to see if I recognized anyone. He

Beautifully written, insightful, honest, fascinating from page one, "Dreams from My Father," once again indicates that Barack Obama is first-rate at just about everything he touches, which is admirable but somewhat annoying. I mean, the guy got elected President twice and, in my opinion, did a pretty damn good job, considering the obstacles; he can throw a three-pointer with ease and sink a 40 foot putt; he's an inspiring orator, utterly charming, and his comedic skills are exemplary. He dances

Forget for a moment who the author has become. This is not a book written by a politician or a would-be president. It's a book that was written by someone who subsequently became those things. For that reason, it's a very honest account of an American coming to terms with who he is and where he's from. As a bonus, Obama happens to be an excellent writer. He has a good sense of how to fashion an interesting narrative, so his personal story is very engaging.As a normal part of becoming an adult, a

Did Barack Obama write this book himself? Man, it was so full of cliches that I almost threw it against the wall, had it not belonged to the library. The most interesting parts take place out of the U.S. Too much concentration on frustrated-black-man syndrome, trying to find a black community and not enough (for me) on how he fared within this community as mixed. Even though HE chose one ethnicity over another, I want to know how he was treated because other people take notice of a mixture
