Now in paperback, this young adult adaptation of the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir offers an intimate look at Barack Obama’s youth and self-discovery, which led him to a life of purpose and service. This compelling journey traces the 44th president''s odyssey through family, race, and identity. A revealing portrait of a young Black man asking questions about himself and where he belongs—long before he became one of the most important voices in America. This unique edition includes an introduction from the author, a full-color photo insert, and a family tree. 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. When 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, the sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey. The journey begins in a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then moves 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.

New York Times -bestseller nyt myös suomeksi! Renegades – Born in the USA on vilpitön, paljastava ja viihdyttävä presidentti Barack Obaman ja legendaarisen muusikko Bruce Springsteenin vuoropuhelu. Kirjassa kolutaan kaikkea heidän alkuperätarinoistaan ja uraa määrittävistä hetkistään Yhdysvaltojen polarisoituneeseen politiikkaan ja siihen, miten amerikkalainen unelma ja amerikkalainen todellisuus etääntyvät yhä kauemmaksi toisistaan. Runsaan kuvituksen ja harvinaisen arkistoaineiston täydentämä teos on vangitseva ja silmää hivelevä muotokuva kahdesta epäsovinnaisesta Yhdysvaltain lähihistorian merkkihenkilöstä, jotka miettivät keinoa yhdistää omakohtaiset merkityksen, identiteetin ja yhteisöllisyyden etsintänsä itse Amerikan tarinaan. Obama ja Springsteen tapaavat äänitysstudiossa, jossa on kymmeniä kitaroita, ja käyvät ainakin kerran kruisailemassa avo-Corvettella. He keskustelevat avioliitosta ja isyydestä, rotukysymyksestä ja maskuliinisuudesta, houkutuksesta lähteä tien päälle ja vastaavasti kotiinpaluun vetovoimasta. He vertailevat mieluisimpia protestilaulujaan, kaikkien aikojen inspiroivimpia amerikkalaisia sankareitaan ja paljon muuta. Keskusteluissa he paljastavat myös kautta uransa kokemansa voimakkaan halun – ja sen ajoittain vaatiman hinnan – kertoa isompaa ja todempaa Amerikan tarinaa ja tutkailevat sitä, miten heidän pirstoutunut maansa voisi löytää tiensä takaisin yhtenäisyyteen ja globaaliin johtajuuteen.

Ao longo de vários dias, o presidente Barack Obama e Bruce Springsteen sentaram-se à conversa. Com origens e experiências de vida muito diferentes, pareciam ter pouco em comum. No entanto, segundo as palavras do presidente Obama nas páginas iniciais de RENEGADOS : «Ao longo dos anos, descobrimos que temos uma sensibilidade comum. Sobre o trabalho, sobre a família e sobre os Estados Unidos. Cada um à sua maneira, eu e o Bruce temos feito uma viagem paralela na tentativa de perceber este país que tanto deu a ambos. Pretendemos contar a história deste povo, procurando uma forma de unir as nossas buscas individuais por sentido, verdade e noção de comunidade com a História dos Estados Unidos.»

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Two longtime friends share an intimate and urgent conversation about life, music, and their enduring love of America, with all its challenges and contradictions, in this stunningly produced expansion of their groundbreaking Higher Ground podcast, featuring more than 350 photographs, exclusive bonus content, and never-before-seen archival material. Renegades: Born in the USA is a candid, revealing, and entertaining dialogue between President Barack Obama and legendary musician Bruce Springsteen that explores everything from their origin stories and career-defining moments to our country’s polarized politics and the growing distance between the American Dream and the American reality. Filled with full-color photographs and rare archival material, it is a compelling and beautifully illustrated portrait of two outsiders—one Black and one white—looking for a way to connect their unconventional searches for meaning, identity, and community with the American story itself. It includes: • Original introductions by President Obama and Bruce Springsteen • Exclusive new material from the Renegades podcast recording sessions • Obama’s never-before-seen annotated speeches, including his “Remarks at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches” • Springsteen’s handwritten lyrics for songs spanning his 50-year-long career • Rare and exclusive photographs from the authors’ personal archives • Historical photographs and documents that provide rich visual context for their conversation In a recording studio stocked with dozens of guitars, and on at least one Corvette ride, Obama and Springsteen discuss marriage and fatherhood, race and masculinity, the lure of the open road and the call back to home. They also compare notes on their favorite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for—and the occasional toll of—telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how our fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity and global leadership.

A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making—from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAACP IMAGE AWARD NOMINEE • NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND PEOPLE NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times • NPR • The Guardian • Slate • Vox • The Economist • Marie Claire In the stirring first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil. Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune’s Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden. A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective—the story of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change,” and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible. This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama’s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

En estas memorias líricas y absorbentes, publicadas originalmente en 1995, el hijo de un africano negro y una estadounidense blanca busca su camino como afroamericano. Las memorias que Obama relata en Los sueños de mi padre comienzan en Nueva York, donde se entera de que su padre ha fallecido en un accidente automovilístico. La inesperada noticia provoca en él un viaje físico y emocional que lo lleva de Kansas a Hawái y más tarde a Kenia, en una emotiva odisea que le permitirá conocer realmente a su familia, la amarga verdad de la vida de su padre y conciliar al fin las distintas partes de su fragmentada herencia. Reseñas: «Provocador... Describe convincentemente el hecho de pertenecer a dos mundos diferentes y, por tanto, de no pertenecer a ninguno». New York Times Book Review «De una manera fluida, tranquila y perceptiva, Obama nos guía directamente al sitio donde se cruzan los interrogantes más serios sobre identidad, clase y raza». Washington Post Book World
