The book is supposed to be a "story of race and inheritance", so I expected race to be a central topic, but his use of race as the singular lens through which he evaluates all his interactions was surprising and disappointing.
It's true that he wrote the book when he was thirty-three, and it was written for a specific publishing purpose. So, I'm going to read Audacity of Hope next to see how and why his views evolve.
I welcome comments on whether you agree/disagree with my assessment. It's possible that I simply did not get it.
