#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS In this iconic memoir of his early days, Barack Obama “guides us straight to the intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and race” (The Washington Post Book World). “Quite extraordinary.”—Toni Morrison In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey—first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. Praise for Dreams from My Father “Beautifully crafted . . . moving and candid . . . This book belongs on the shelf beside works like James McBride’s The Color of Water and Gregory Howard 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 “Obama’s writing is incisive yet forgiving. This is a book worth savoring.”—Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here “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, author of In My Place “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
Without a doubt, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; but a journey to hell and back, may never be a pleasant story to tell. By all human standards, it is undeniable that rising from the dungeons of bondage to the highest offices in the land is nothing short of a miracle. Similarly, rising from the doldrums of Apartheid to the highest offices in the land is equally, nothing short of a miracle. Similarly, rising from the gas chambers and concentration camps of Auschwitz back to the promise land is equally, nothing short of a miracle. But what is even more miraculous is that, such shameful atrocities and such heinous crimes against humanity have all happened in human society. Nevertheless, such amazing triumphs of good over evil and such astounding achievements of beleaguered people, from the most humble beginnings to the highest levels of human dignity, have also happened in human society. "Redemption of a Dream" is the story of one race of people, sent on a treacherous journey, centuries ago and yet, the essence of the story came to fulfillment right before our eyes, in this generation of our lifetime. This is a true story of the struggle for dignity among the various races, cultures, colors and religions within the largest melting pot on earth. Find out how the new world became a multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-colored and multi-religious society, even before the Union was formed. This story also chronicles the reflections, recollections and lamentations of the author. Born and raised in the Gold Coast colony, he came to America to fulfill his dream of higher education. He also recalls his childhood experiences during the first-ever transfer of power from colonial-rule to self-rule in the first-ever Democracy formed in black Africa in 1957. The author strikes an interesting similarity between himself and the father of the 44th President of the United States; each came to America in pursuit of his dream of college education and if all goes well; maybe experience the American Dream and let the chips fall where they may. Find out what happened in each of their separate lives in America. Get to the roots of the struggle; find out the true origin of the black American struggle for dignity. Find out how the stone that the builders rejected, became the cornerstone of the finest mansion in the land, build by slave labor, reserved for nobility and eventually occupied by descendants of the same slaves who built it. I grew up in the small canoe-fishing town of Christiansborg, Osu, on the Atlantic coast of West Africa. As a child, I was fortunate enough to attend the schools that the early Missionaries built during the colonial era. Growing up under the shadow of the infamous Christiansborg Castle; I quickly learnt what many in our community already knew. It was common knowledge that our peaceful and picturesque, seaside neighborhood, was one of the most vicious slave market centers in black Africa; next only to the iniquitous Cape Coast Castle; a few hundred miles west of my hometown and the notorious Elmina Castle, further to the west of my hometown. All three colossal castles, still stand today on the sandy shores and in the salt waters of the Atlantic Ocean; each colonial castle, acting as giant window, looking back in retrospect to the ills of the colonial era and the evils of the slavery era. I decided to write this book, "Redemption of a Dream", when America elected its first-ever African American president in almost three centuries. To me, this is the greatest and most significant change that ever happened since the new world was discovered. I wrote this book solely in honor of the brave heroes and legends of "The Struggle" from slavery to Presidency. Thanks for checking out my story and God bless.
The American Dream that crystallized around James Truslow Adams’ The Epic of America originally formulated in the early 1930s and was conditioned by a decade of complexity and contradiction, of big government projects, intensely fierce nationalism, the definition of the American way, and a distinctive collection of American iconic narratives has had the power and force to successively reshape America for every new generation. Indeed, Adam’s dream of opportunity for each according to ability or achievement shaped against the old class culture of Europe emphasizes a vision of social order in which each person can succeed despite their social origins. Barack Obama, a skillful rhetorician and intelligent politician, talks of restoring the American and has used its narrative resources to define his campaign and his policies. In a time of international and domestic crisis, of massive sovereign debt, of the failure of neoliberalism, of growing inequalities, the question is whether the American Dream and the vision of an equal education on which it rests can be revitalized.
This dual biography of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King upends longstanding preconceptions to transform our understanding of the twentieth century's most iconic African American leaders. To most Americans, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. represent contrasting ideals: self-defense vs. nonviolence, black power vs. civil rights, the sword vs. the shield. The struggle for black freedom is wrought with the same contrasts. While nonviolent direct action is remembered as an unassailable part of American democracy, the movement's militancy is either vilified or erased outright. In The Sword and the Shield, Peniel E. Joseph upends these misconceptions and reveals a nuanced portrait of two men who, despite markedly different backgrounds, inspired and pushed each other throughout their adult lives. This is a strikingly revisionist biography, not only of Malcolm and Martin, but also of the movement and era they came to define.
US citizens perceive their society to be one of the most diverse and religiously tolerant in the world today. Yet seemingly intractable religious intolerance and moral conflict abound throughout contemporary US public life - from abortion law battles, same-sex marriage, post-9/11 Islamophobia, public school curriculum controversies, to moral and religious dimensions of the Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street movements, and Tea Party populism. Healthy Conflict in Contemporary American Society develops an approach to democratic discourse and coalition-building across deep moral and religious divisions. Drawing on conflict transformation in peace studies, recent American pragmatist thought, and models of agonistic democracy, Jason Springs argues that, in circumstances riven with conflict between strong religious identities and deep moral and political commitments, productive engagement may depend on thinking creatively about how to constructively utilize conflict and intolerance. The result is an approach oriented by the recognition of conflict as a constituent and life-giving feature of social and political relationships.
