奥巴马出生于夏威夷。父亲是肯尼亚一名黑人经济学家,母亲是美国一名白人女教师。父母在奥巴马两岁的时候分手,在听说父亲1982年在肯尼亚死于车祸前,奥巴马只见过父亲一次,奥巴马跟着母亲和姥姥姥爷长大。
父亲离开了,奥巴马跟着母亲长大。邓纳姆后来嫁给了一名印尼石油公司的经理罗罗·素托罗,素托罗由于工作的关系需要去雅加达,于是,邓纳姆带着6岁的奥巴马去了印尼。奥巴马在印尼度过了四年的童年时光。
10岁时,母亲与继父离婚,奥巴马回到了夏威夷,大部分的时间他和外祖父外祖母生活在一起。
在2004年7月,民主党召开全国代表大会,奥巴马被指定在第二天做“基调演讲”。所谓“基调演讲”,就是民主党人阐述本党的纲领和政策宣言,通常由本党极有前途的政治新星来发表,1988年做“基调演讲”的人就是时任阿肯色州州长的克林顿。奥巴马不负众望,他亲自撰写演讲稿,并发表了慷慨激昂的演说。在演说中他提出消除党派分歧和种族分歧、实现“一个美国”的梦想。
45岁的奥巴马演说极具魅力,灿烂的笑容更虏获许多民众的心。与过去有意竞选总统的黑人前辈相比,奥巴马是首位在初选前民调获得全国性支持的明日之星,打败2008年成为美国历史上首位黑人总统。
Nine years before the Senate campaign that made him one of the most influential and compelling voices in American politics, Barack Obama published this lyrical, unsentimental, and powerfully affecting memoir, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller when it was reissued in 2004. Dreams from My Father tells the story of Obama’s struggle to understand the forces that shaped him as the son of a black African father and white American mother—a struggle that takes him from the American heartland to the ancestral home of his great-aunt in the tiny African village of Alego.
Obama opens his story in New York, where he hears that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has died in a car accident. The news triggers a chain of memories as Barack retraces his family’s unusual history: the migration of his mother’s family from small-town Kansas to the Hawaiian islands; the love that develops between his mother and a promising young Kenyan student, a love nurtured by youthful innocence and the integrationist spirit of the early sixties; his father’s departure from Hawaii when Barack was two, as the realities of race and power reassert themselves; and Barack’s own awakening to the fears and doubts that exist not just between the larger black and white worlds but within himself.
Propelled by a desire to understand both the forces that shaped him and his father’s legacy, Barack moves to Chicago to work as a community organizer. There, against the backdrop of tumultuous political and racial conflict, he works to turn back the mounting despair of the inner city. His story becomes one with those of the people he works with as he learns about the value of community, the necessity of healing old wounds, and the possibility of faith in the midst of adversity.
Barack’s journey comes full circle in Kenya, where he finally meets the African side of his family and confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life. Traveling through a country racked by brutal poverty and tribal conflict, but whose people are sustained by a spirit of endurance and hope, Barack discovers that he is inescapably bound to brothers and sisters living an ocean away—and that by embracing their common struggles he can finally reconcile his divided inheritance.
A searching meditation on the meaning of identity in America, Dreams from My Father might be the most revealing portrait we have of a major American leader—a man who is playing, and will play, an increasingly prominent role in healing a fractious and fragmented nation.

我不愿意每一页都翻看, 读起来饶有兴趣的就是他小时候在印尼,后来和他同父异母的妹妹碰面,以及他回肯尼亚的经历. 对与在芝加哥他的社区工作部分忽略.....虽然作者很看重这部分, 我觉得文字枯燥,没兴趣了解.
评分看这本书时,我对奥巴马的认识仅仅停留在他是美国历史上第一任黑人总统。 就我这个状态来说,我私以为我可以以一种相对客观的态度来看待这本书,以及这本书的那个极具争议的作者。 看他的书,我可以很负责地说一个词:细腻。是的,很细腻。奥巴马的这本书以一种相当跳跃的思维...
评分这是09年看的,当时是一个好朋友送我的。因为当时他刚上任,我也才开始知晓他,看了一篇关于他的一个报道,一段话是这样写的 “如果奥巴马不是有做政客的梦想,他的路肯定不会很这样走,不会去做底薪的社区服务,而不进律师所,他有很坚定的目标并为之努力,不为其他诱惑。所以...
评分摘自《南方周末》 作者:李丹婷 巴拉克•侯赛因•奥巴马,47岁,美国民主党总统候选人。 在过去了的几十年里,他或许只是一个普通的美国黑人;但即将到来的几年,他很可能成为美国历史上第一位黑人总统。 2007年,奥巴马正式宣布参加总统竞选。在芝加哥,面...
