Barack Obama writes memoir and political non-fiction about identity, public life, race and the practical workings of American politics. Dreams from My Father traces his family history, childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia, community organising in Chicago and search for a clearer understanding of his Kenyan and American roots. The Audacity of Hope moves towards policy and political argument, discussing government, faith, race and civic responsibility from the perspective of a US senator. A Promised Land is a presidential memoir covering his early political career, the 2008 campaign and major decisions from his first term in office. Obama's prose is reflective and explanatory, combining personal narrative with institutional detail. His books fit political memoir, presidential autobiography and contemporary American history.
