Obama's Mother's Book to Be Published

A book written by President Obama's mother, who died of cancer in 1995, will be published in December, Duke Press announced Monday.

The book is based on Ann Dunham's 14-year research on the metalworking industry in rural Java, an island in Indonesia. Two anthropologists are revising and editing her dissertation into a book, called "Surviving Against the Odds: Village Industry in Indonesia." CNN
