The Obama Book "Dreams of My Father"

The fact that this book is worth reading has nothing to do (in my opinion) with the fact that the author is the current President of the USA.

I recommend it as a person who has roots in more than one culture and has split his life living in different parts of the world, just like Barack Obama has. Particularly powerful are 1) Obama's identity search as half-white half-black returnee from Indonesia in a Hawaiian prep school, 2) his development as a political organizer in the Chicago South Side, and 3) his introspection on his relationship with his father's family in Kenya.

Whether he turns out to be a good president or not, I think it is beneficial that our president has a multicultural background, has lived in a variety of different social-economic subcultures, and possesses the ability to put his past (or at least his version of it) up for scrutiny and reflect on it in a intriguing way.
