He came to the U.S. from Kenya and was given a university scholarship. While in the Hawaii, he met Ann Dunham in 1961, and his son Barack was born. He left his young family to gain a master's degree from Harvard. After that, Obama's life became progressively more complicated. He was a brilliant economist, yet never held the coveted government job he felt should have been his. He was a polygamist, an alcoholic, and an ardent African nationalist unafraid to tell truth to power at a time when that could get you killed. Father of eight, nurturer of none, he was an unlikely person to father the first African American president of the United States. Yet he was, like that son, a man moved by the dream of a better world.Now, thanks to dozens of exclusive new interviews, prodigious research, and determined investigation, Sally Jacobs tells his full story"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000468596 520__ $$a"This is a biography of the senior Barack Obama, who is President Barack Obama's father"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000468596 60010 $$aObama, Barack H.$$q(Barack Hussein),$$d1936-1982. 000468596 60010 $$aObama, Barack$$xFamily. 000468596 650_0 $$aEconomists$$zKenya$$vBiography. 000468596 650_0 $$aLuo (Kenyan and Tanzanian people)$$vBiography. 000468596 651_0 $$aKenya$$vBiography. 000468596 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000468596 852__ $$bebk 000468596 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10480384$$zOnline Access 000468596 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:468596$$pGLOBAL_SET 000468596 980__ $$aEBOOK 000468596 980__ $$aBIB 000468596 982__ $$aEbook 000468596 983__ $$aOnline
