Our Friend Barry: Classmates' Recollections of Barack Obama and Punahou School
www.ourfriendbarry.com
Edited by Constance F. Ramos
OUR FRIEND BARRY is a collection of personal essays from Barack Obama's Punahou School classmates, telling the story of Senator Obama's teenage years from the direct perspectives of those who grew up with him. Collectively, they tell a story of the lasting influences of his Pacific island upbringing and a former Christian missionary school called "Punahou." Individually, they focus on topics such as: personal childhood experiences with Barack ("Barry") Obama; mixed-race life in Hawaii and lessons in diversity; student life at Punahou; and how Barack Obama's vision and appeal are rooted in his formative years at Punahou School and in our 50th State.
The 2008 presidential election will have an everlasting impact on United States politics and America’s future as a global leader. Whatever the outcome, Barack Obama has been, and will continue to be, a very important figure in American politics, because of his unifying message and his careful, all embracing methodology. The Punahou Class of 1979 offers a small but nonetheless significant piece of the puzzle that tells the story of why Barack Obama is more than a conglomerate of simplified categories that have become obsolete, in the politics of our tumultuous times.
OUR FRIEND BARRY is currently available in hardcover print, paperback, and downloadable e-book format on the Lulu Marketplace at http://stores.lulu.com/booksbyramos. (Previews of the book can also be found at that site.)
