Product Description
Book Description
叙情的でありながら、感情的ではない、感動的なこの回想録で、アフリカ系黒人の父と白人のアメリカ人を母にもつ著者は、黒人のアメリカ人としての人生に実行可能な意味を探す。ストーリーはニューヨークで始まる。父親――実在するというより伝説の男としてなじみのあった人物――が交通事故で亡くなってしまう。父親の急死が、感情的な長期放浪の旅のきっかけとなる。カンザス州の小さな町から始まり、母側の家族が移民してきた道をさかのぼってハワイへ、そこからケニヤに渡り、アフリカの親戚に会って父親の人生のつらい真実を学ぶ。そこでようやく、自分のなかの混ざりあった血を甘んじて受け入れることができる。
内容説明
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.
