by Barack ObamaAhora adaptadas para jóvenes, las memorias bestseller #1 del New York Times que Toni Morrison llamó “realmente extraordinarias” ofrecen una mirada íntima a los primeros años de Barack Obama. Se trata de un viaje fascinante que traza la odisea familiar, racial y de identidad del futuro cuadragésimo cuarto presidente. El retrato revelador de un joven hombre negro cuestionándose sobre el autodescubrimiento y la pertenencia… mucho antes de convertirse en una de las voces más importantes de Estados Unidos. Esta edición única incluye una nueva introducción del autor, un inserto de imágenes a color y un árbol genealógico. Hijo de una madre blanca de Estados Unidos y un padre negro de Kenya, Obama nació en Hawai, donde vivió hasta los seis años, cuando se mudó con su madre y su padrastro a Indonesia. A los doce años regresó a Hawai para vivir con sus abuelos. Obama lleva a sus lectores consigo mientras enfrenta los retos en high school y universidad, en su vida en Nueva York, al convertirse en organizador comunitario en Chicago y al viajar a Kenya. A través de tales experiencias forma un compromiso duradero con el liderazgo y la justicia. Contado a través de las relaciones con su familia —la madre y los abuelos que lo criaron, el padre que consideraba más mito que hombre y el clan familiar que conoció en Kenya por primera vez—, Obama hace frente a la complicada verdad de la vida y el legado de su padre, y termina por abrazar su origen dividido.
