In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white\u00a0American mother\u00a0searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father\u2014a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man\u2014has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey\u2014first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother\u2019s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father\u2019s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.<\/p>\n
