    Barak Obama – Dreams from My Father

    IMG_0594 

    奥巴马的父亲是一位肯尼亚留学生,在夏威夷留学期间认识了奥巴马的母亲。两人相爱生下了奥巴马,后来他的父亲前往哈佛,之后返回了肯尼亚。奥巴马只见过他父亲一次。他在成长的过程中,一直都在思考自己是谁。他的父亲是非洲黑人,母亲是白人,他跟随外公外婆长大,处在白人社会和黑人社会的交界。

    大学毕业后奥巴马决定投身社会工作,试图改善社区中黑人的生活。然而他发现给人往往被某种类似“劣根性”的东西所束缚,生活在美国这样一个大熔炉中总是无法摆脱“black”所带来的东西。奥巴马在疑问中努力工作。

    另一方面,对黑人的思考也使他更希望了解自己的父亲,自己的根。终于他回到了肯尼亚,去了解自己的父亲,自己的祖先,自己的根。他发现他父亲并不是他一直以来想象的那样完美,但是在和家人的交谈中,他渐渐了解了自己的父亲,一个为理想而奋斗却有着缺点的活生生的人。他了解了父亲所成长的环境,明白了他父亲始终没有摆脱这个环境给他带来的束缚,但他也看到了自己父亲彷徨之后坚持却又慢慢变化的过程。对于奥巴马来说,这对于他的关于美国黑人命运的思考带来了一些启示。

    人无论走多远,都会时刻被自己的根所影响着。

    对于我自己来说,我想起了以前听老爸跟我说他成长的经历,讲爷爷的故事,听妈妈、舅舅讲述自己的过去。不知道为何,我对这些故事一直记忆犹新。看完这本书之后,我忽然意识到长久以来正是这些故事指引着我前进。长辈们的经历,他们的成功、失败一直引领着我。一个人无论如何都无法摆脱自己家庭、自己的出身对自己的影响,我现在做的,和我的长辈一样,无可避免地被时代和环境所束缚,但是对家人的爱和奋斗精神是要一直传承下去的。
