Dreams From My Father - Barack Obama

This book chronicles Barack Obama's life up until just before he enters Harvard Law School.  The book is divided into three sections - his early life growing up in Hawaii and Indonesia, his short stints at Occidental and Columbia and his later work as an organizer in Chicago, and his visit to Kenya to discover his roots.  The theme of the book as he goes through these different places is race, and the legacy of his father.

Though I had a hard time following the various family tree relatives in Kenya, it was a great read that described how he formed his opinions on race, social justice and civil rights.
