The President’s late mother’s anthropology dissertation is set to be published this fall by Duke University Press. Entitled Surviving Against the Odds: Village Industry in Indonesia, it will explore S. Ann Dunham's 14 year study of metalworking on the island of Java. While not a memoir, we can guarantee this read will be audacious.
