We Are The Change We Seek

Bringing together 27 of his best speeches, We Are the Change We Seek is a moving and compelling book that allows us to get in touch with the essence of the former president's thinking.

Barack Obama made history in the United States for many reasons, including being the first Black president of a country that experienced one of the longest and most infamous racial segregations on the planet, and for his eloquence, comparable to few of his predecessors. He was one of the most popular U.S. presidents of recent decades and had a strong appeal among younger people. His thoughtful speeches, however, are quite important at a time of great reflection and global political crisis.

Driven by his own capacity for change and able to persuade many others to do so, Obama ushered in an era of redefining the American ideal and striving for a more just and egalitarian world. His speeches are an invitation to hope in a troubled context that will only be transformed by a firm belief in improvement and the desire for change alive in each of us.
