Dreams of My Father

I'm surprised President Bush was abroad.
Good to see him out and about.
Anyway, I was flipping through
"Dreams of My Father"
which I won't be able to get out of the library because our library sucks and everyone will want it, but I went to the part, toward the end, where Obama's grandmother in Kenya is speaking, that bit that is quoted in some reviews.
Apart from a huge culture difference, beautifully portrayed in her language, what you have is the history of British colonialism in that part of Africa.
Which seems to me hugely significant.
