Commentary To Books Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

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.

Appraise Regarding Books Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

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.

I listened to this audiobook in the waning days of Obama's presidency. Dreams from My Father is about Obama's family, his childhood, and how he got his start in community organizing in Chicago.Some of my favorite stories were about Barack's grandparents, his memories of his mother and father, and finally, his visit to Kenya to meet his African relatives. It was interesting to read this memoir, first published in 1995, and to recognize all that Obama has accomplished since writing it. The audio

What a thought-provoking book! The book is split into three sections (Origins, Chicago and Kenya). I tried splitting up my reading of it in roughly the same manner since it's easier for me to get through a non-fiction book if I intersperse it with fiction.I think each section left me with a different series of questions. Origins left me thinking about community: its value, how we choose it, are chosen by it, and what it means to be within and without community. Origins also made me ponder how

Dreams From My Father by Barack ObamaRating- 5/5It was obvious for me to read this memoir. I saw the book in the local library almost three years ago and right then I had decided that I will read it, but being busy in other works, couldnt get the time. This year was also slipping, so at last I borrowed and knowing not much about it I posted a picture in the group and just asked , Hows it?. And this, Hows it stirred a heated political argument. Oh My God! It was so much that the admin had to turn

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

With Barack Obama running for president, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at who this candidate was. I had been warned by another friend (not a Obama supporter, I should note) that it was poorly written and its message unclear. This perplexed me a bit since that had been contrary to what it seemed like everyone had been saying.Well, I, on the other hand, found it a completely absorbing read. It's well-written and an interesting story. I wish everyone could read it; there are so

Great read! about understanding and finding out his past upbringing,life and history etc (paperback!)
