• ?;“Fluidly, calmly, insightfully, Obama guides us straight to the
intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and
race.”
—Washington Post Book World
“Beautifully crafted…moving and candid…This book belongs on the
shelf beside works like James McBride’s The Color of Water and Greg
Williams’s Life on the Color Line as a tale of living astride
America’s racial categories.”
—Scott Turow
“Provocative…Persuasively describes the phenomenon of belonging to
two different worlds, and thus belonging to neither.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“One of the most powerful books of self-discovery I’ve ever read,
all the more so for its illuminating insights into the problems not
only of race, class, and color, but of culture and ethnicity. It is
also beautifully written, skillfully layered, and paced like a good
novel.”
—Charlayne Hunter-Gault
“In Dreams from My Father Barack Obama takes us on a probing
journey in a search for the truths about family and race. Obama’s
writing is incisive yet forgiving. This is a book worth
savoring.”
—Alex Kotlowitz
“Dreams from My Father is an exquisite, sensitive study of this
wonderful young author’s journey into adulthood, his search for
community and his place in it, his quest for an understanding of
his roots, and his discovery of the poetry of human life.
Perceptive and wise, this book will tell you something about
yourself whether you are black or white.”
—Marian Wright Edelman
