White Woman With Black Man Biography
Though Obama's own two books openly discuss his biological, cultural and historical roots, we are just beginning to learn in-depth about the two guiding images of his life: his anthropologist mother and economist father. Two new biographies have recently been published about Obama's parents. Thus, we know a lot more about "a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya" who gave birth to the 44th US president in Hawaii.
We may now be able to answer the question, "What is it about his genealogy, parenting and childhood that predisposed him to achieve the goal that has eluded so many before him?"
First, we know that his mother was a strong-headed woman, a "globalist" before there was such a thing as globalization or buzz-words like e-commerce, dot-com and technology hubs. Driven by her own needs and personality, she was the girl who "ran away from home", living the life of an expat on the archipelago of Indonesia. The island of Java became her intellectual, professional and spiritual home.
Janny Scott's biography, A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mother, describes the life of Ann Dunham with special attention to her career in Indonesia. She was not simply the caricature of the white woman from Kansas; she was much more than that.
While Scott is not focused on figuring out how Ann as a mother shaped Obama's character, she does present an extensive amount of interview data that helps to confirm the developmental and psychological hypothesis that the "naively idealistic" views of his mother may have formed the core of Obama's early self and emerging mind.
"It was a sense that beneath our surface differences, we're all the same and that there's more good than bad in each of us. And that you know, we can reach across the void and touch each other and believe in each other and work together ... That's precisely the naivete and idealism that was part of her, and that's I suppose the naive idealism in me," Obama told Scott candidly.
