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, Barack Obama recounts an emotional Odyssey, retracing 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 life and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. Written nearly fifteen years before becoming President, dreams from My father is an unforgettable read. It illuminates not only Obama’s journey, but also our universal desire to understand our history and what makes us who we are.

The book, the storytelling by President Obama, the life story, everything is captivating.

The story is a foundation for a person who later becomes one of the most powerful person in the world. Though it was written long before Mr. Obama became President, it paves way to the future.

Brilliantly written, though would be stretched at some points.

A Story of Race and Inheritance (1995) is a memoir by Barack Obama, that explores the events of his early years in Honolulu and Chicago up until his entry into law school in 1988. Obama originally published his memoir in 1995, when he was starting his political campaign for the Illinois Senate.He had been elected as the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review in 1990. According to The New York Times, Obama modeled Dreams from My Father on Ralph Ellison's novel Invisible Man.

Being a US president is a big achievement but it is clearly visible that, it was not planned.
Working in root level made him involve because he knew about "basic human problem".

We can learn from anyone, anywhere, any source !!! That's what made Mr. Obama much different from many US President, many human being.

Great personal story and understanding of race relations in the United States

Reviewed in India on 15 July 2013

Verified Purchase

This book covers the early life of Barack Obama up to his first real job as a community organiser and was written when he was 33. The writing is fluid and at some passages are beautiful. It reveals a very self aware, extremely intelligent and very self conscious person trying to grow up battling the contradictions of growing up in a mixed race family.

On the down side, some passages are a bit preachy and Obama leaves out crucial bits of information, like why did he choose to become a community worker is not adequately explained in my view. Also he leaves out his political views and does not disclose his political ambitions or lack of it.

But overall a highly engaging and rewarding read. The last passage of his trip to Kenya is easily the best. In the end the book is really what the title is, Obama and his understanding of his father's life and why he took the decisions he did going right into the heart of racial relations in US and Africa.

Enjoyed reading the book. Loads of things to learn from Mr Obama's life. His depiction of racism and inheritance is awfully beautiful. Each and every youth can identify himself/herself with the quest for identity that Mr Obama pursues, though in a different context but the bottom-line remains the same.

Should be mandatory reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2019

Barack Obama is a superb writer. You might expect that from such a persuasive orator, but remember he wrote this book long before he reached the heady-heights of running for US President. And he writes with such literary skill. You can almost see, feel, touch and smell the faraway lands of which he writes... Hawaii, Indonesia, Kenya and then of course the grittiness of NYC, Chicago. More than this though, which is beautiful and worthy in its own right, this book offers insight. Insight into what it means to be mixed race in a developed nation such as America, a minority, and the constant drive to find meaning and your place of comfort in the world.

Personally I think we should all read this book. Firstly, because for those of us who are non-black we will learn an awful lot that we didn't know about how it feels to be black in America. And secondly, because the majority of us are part of a minority group in some aspect of our lives. This book teaches us what being a minority can do to you, how difficult it can be, including how hard it is to come together as minorities and organise ourselves to bring about change. This book also teaches us that determination and small wins matter. That they can help make a difference. And that bringing about change is important at grassroots level and at leadership levels. It has also helped me to learn about 'organisation', which in itself is also fascinating.

Superb book. Someone should make this guy President.... ;-)

and it’s pretty easy to see how his early life is still ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2015

You might have heard of Mr. Obama before – you know, he’s the president of that country that everyone keeps banging on about. This is his first book, written and released before he even got in to politics, and created at the behest of a publishing company after he became the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.

In many ways, that seems to make the book somehow pure, as though it’s a preserved distilling of the president’s personality when he was a younger man, and it’s pretty easy to see how his early life is still shaping him, even today. In fact, after reading this, I’ve found that it feels as though I know him, as though I could predict how he’ll react in different situations.

But really, that’s not what this book is about – he may be the president now, but that wasn’t always the case, and his book looks back at his early life and examines his feelings towards the father that was never there, his African roots and what being a black American actually means. It’s a fascinating study of race relations in America in the 1970s and 1980s, and what’s more poignant is the fact that while Obama does indeed look at the differences between black people and white people, he eventually concludes that the colour of our skin doesn’t define us.

That’s not to say that he doesn’t face struggles along the way, though – Obama also examines his own biases, and the unintentional way in which we come to judgements all of the time. He himself is guilty of stereotyping, but he tries to correct himself and that in itself is honourable.

Of course, it’s also fascinating to read about his exploits as a kid, and his trips to Kenya and Indonesia, or his work in Chicago trying to make the city a better place before he eventually applied for and was accepted in to Harvard. Turns out that Barack is a pretty good writer, and it shows – it was of a professional quality, with no typos or unnatural sounding sentences. Even the dialogue that he recreates sounds natural and fits perfectly with the character, who are of course real people.

Overall, I’d say that this is well worth a read whether you’re an American or not, and whether or not Obama is still president by the time that you read this. The identity of the author doesn’t really matter – the book speaks for itself, and it has a lot of stuff to say to you, too.

Beautifully written. As an African myself I was taken back in time to my own experiences good and bad. Obama conveys his journey with emotion and frankness. I struggled on many occasions to put this book down. It is captivating. Highly recommended...and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I am proud of this book from my African brother from another mother.

I had this on my Kindle for months, thinking I must read it but wondering if it might be a bit heavy. How wrong I was. It's beautifully written and draws you in from the beginning. Obama's early life is full of surprises.
