The other Barack : the bold and reckless life of President Obama's father / by Jacobs, Sally H.,1957-(CARDINAL)396974;
"Barack Obama, father of the American president, was part of Africa's "independence generation" and in 1959 it seemed his star would shine brightly. He came to the U.S. from Kenya and was given a university scholarship. While in the Hawaii, he met Ann Dunham in 1961, and his son Barack was born. He left his young family to gain a master's degree from Harvard. After that, Obama's life became progressively more complicated. He was a brilliant economist, yet never held the coveted government job he felt should have been his. He was a polygamist, an alcoholic, and an ardent African nationalist unafraid to tell truth to power at a time when that could get you killed. Father of eight, nurturer of none, he was an unlikely person to father the first African American president of the United States. Yet he was, like that son, a man moved by the dream of a better world.Now, thanks to dozens of exclusive new interviews, prodigious research, and determined investigation, Sally Jacobs tells his full story"--"This is a biography of the senior Barack Obama, who is President Barack Obama's father"--

By the sea [large print] / by Gurnah, Abdulrazak,1948-author.(CARDINAL)767273;
On a late November afternoon, Saleh Omar arrives at Gatwick Airport from his native Zanzibar. With him is a small bag in which lies his most precious possession - a mahogany box containing incense. He used to own a furniture shop, have a house, and be a husband and father. Now he is an asylum seeker from paradise, silence his only protection. Meanwhile, Latif Mahmud, a distinguished young professor, lives quietly alone in his London flat. When the two encounter each other in an English seaside town, the narratives each carries of their mutual past begin to unravel, revealing an infinitely more fascinating story of love and betrayal, seduction and possession, and of a people desperately trying to find stability amidst the maelstrom of their times.
