ObamaLand Born and raised in the most unique & multicultural state in the union, Barack Obama bears the indelible stamp of his native Hawaii. ObamaLand - Who is Barack Obama? paints a rich, detailed picture of Hawaii from 1959, when Barack Obama, Sr. arrived to study at the University of Hawaii, to 1979 when his son left the Islands for college. It’s profusely illustrated, with family photos of President Obama never seen before as well as then-and-now photography of Oahu sites, drawn from Hawaii archivist DeSoto Brown of the Bishop Museum and the author's network of kamaaina (old time) sources. The book breaks the island of Oahu into six “O-Zones,” each indicated by a strawberry shave ice on six detailed O-Zone maps. They mark more than 100 points of interest for those interested in tracing President Obama’s background—from the now famous apartment at 1617 South Beretania St., where he lived with his grandparents, to the former Sunset Lounge, where his father hung out with fellow students in the 1960s. It also contains art, guest comments, memoirs, poetry, nostalgic local ephemera and even an essay on the history of shave ice. 150 pages softcover 8 by 10.5 inches
