Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama
4.0
3 1/2 stars.
I, like a lot of others who grew to be disillusioned, always wished that Obama followed through on his promised progressivism. This book strengthened my frustration with him. He brilliance is apparent at a young age. He elucidates the longterm effects of imperialism and colonialism and philosophises about injustice and unjust institutions. Yet, his legacy is drone striking his way into coining the term “collateral damage.”
That being said, I have respect for him and his accomplishments. This is an interesting insight into his formative years and how they shaped him.
