Product Description
Ron Jacobs, radio programming guru, publisher, author, and magazine writer, explores the dynamics of Hawai`i, the nation's greatest melting pot, and offers reflections, observations and insights into the man that would inspire millions in this country and the world, to dream and to believe that all things are possible.
Obamaland: Who Is Barack Obama? tells of Barack Obama, his birth and his birthplace; his formative years as a student at Hawaii's elite private institution of Island education, Punahou; the everlasting influence of his parents, grandparents, the Dunham's; and of the places, sights, sounds and smells of Oahu and how they shaped and molded him.
Oahu, its confluence of cultures, imbued with the timeless Hawaiian values of ohana (family) and aloha (love, compassion), allowed young Barack to be a boy and would instill in him, the sense of respect, inclusion and compassion he carries with him to this day.
Share in the stories and reflections of an impressive list of contributors, from Washington to Hollywood, to those who are not so famous but whose lives crossed paths with the 44th President of the United States.
Jacobs has intertwined their essays and poetry, their quotes, and quotes from Barack Obama, with his own engaging writing - not just about Obama, but about Hawai`i when "Barry" lived there; the Hawai`i that the author, born and bred in the Islands, knows and loves so well, the Hawai`i that gave Barack Obama his "aloha DNA'.
