Dreams from My Father

Author: Barack Obama

In this candid memoir, Obama reflects on his journey of self-discovery and racial identity. From his childhood in Hawaii to his time in Chicago as a community organizer, he grapples with the complexities of being biracial in America. His prose is both lyrical and introspective, offering intimate glimpses into his family history and the forces that shaped him. I found myself captivated by his honesty and the way he wrestles with questions of belonging. It’s a deeply personal account that resonates long after the final page.

The worst thing that colonialism did was to cloud our view of our past.
