Summary

Barack Obama: My Father's Story-Dreams of Race and Heritage

NEARLY TEN YEARS HAVE PASSED since the first edition of this book. As I noted in the introduction to the first edition, the opportunity to write this book came to me while I was in law school, after I was elected as the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Reviewz. On the wings of modest publicity, I received an advance from my publisher and began writing, convinced that the story of my family and my attempts to make sense of that story somehow spoke to the racial divides that marked America's past and to the fluidity of identity — leaps across time periods, clashes of cultures — that mark our present.
Like most first-time writers, on the day the book was published I was simultaneously filled with hope and despair: the hope that the book could fulfill my youthful dreams. dreams, and I despair that maybe I didn't say anything worth mentioning. The reality was somewhere in between. The reviews were lukewarm. There was even an audience at the public readings that my publisher arranged. The book sold poorly. After a few months, I continued to live my life, sure that my writing career would be short-lived, but satisfied that I survived the whole episode with more or less intact dignity..
