Beskrivelse

Renegades: Born in the USA captures a heartfelt and urgent conversation between longtime friends Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen. Through their dialogue, they explore life, music, and the complex realities of America.

An insightful and visually rich dialogue on identity, politics, and the American experience.

This beautifully produced book expands on their groundbreaking Higher Ground podcast, featuring over 350 photographs, exclusive bonus content, and never-before-seen archival material. It offers a candid and engaging exchange between President Barack Obama and legendary musician Bruce Springsteen, covering everything from their personal beginnings and pivotal career moments to the deep political divides in the country and the widening gap between the American Dream and its reality.

Filled with full-colour images and rare documents, Renegades: Born in the USA paints a vivid portrait of two outsiders searching for meaning, identity, and community within the larger American story. The book includes:

• Original introductions by both Obama and Springsteen
• Exclusive new content from the Renegades podcast recording sessions
• Obama’s previously unseen annotated speeches, including his Remarks at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches
• Springsteen’s handwritten lyrics spanning his five-decade career
• Rare and personal photographs from the authors’ archives

Set in a recording studio filled with guitars and during at least one Corvette ride, the two discuss everything from marriage and fatherhood to race, masculinity, and the allure of the open road versus the pull of home. They share their favourite protest songs, celebrate inspiring American heroes, and reflect on the challenges and rewards of telling a more honest story about America.

Throughout their conversation, Obama and Springsteen reveal their shared passion for bridging divides and explore how a fractured nation might begin to heal and come together once again.
