Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
by Barack Obama
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 fatherââ¬âa figure he knows more as a myth than as a manââ¬âhas been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odysseyââ¬âfirst to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his motherââ¬â¢s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his fatherââ¬â¢s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream
by Barack Obama
With a vision and a diction that struck a chord in the hearts of mainstream Democrats at the 2004 convention, Senator Barack Obama offers a platform that reconnects with traditional American values while offering a path to the future. Obama begins with a plea for an end to the toxic partisanship which characterizes business-as-usual in Washington, D.C. He appeals across party lines as he addresses issues of concern to all Americans: economic health; racial harmony; security of the homeland. Obama advocates a nationwide consensus that reaffirms the Constitution and a new politics based on those ideals–one that can get things done.
