A Raisin in the Sun is a classic American play: a groundbreaking
1950s civil rights drama and has a strong claim to be the greatest
play of the black American experience. Deeply committed to the
black struggle for equality and human rights, Lorraine Hansberry's
brilliant career as a writer was cut short by her death when she
was only 34. A Raisin in the Sun was the first play written by a
black woman to be produced on Broadway and won the New York Drama
Critics Circle Award. Hansberry was the youngest and the first
black writer to receive this award. She was also the first person
to be called 'young, gifted and black'. The play is set in south
side Chicago, where Walter Lee, a black chauffeur, dreams of a
better life, and hopes to use his father's life insurance money to
open a liquor store. Humane and heart-rending, the play depicts
characters and a whole society with complexity and reality. This
Student Edition features expert and helpful annotation, including a
scene-by-scene summary, a detailed commentary on the dramatic,
social and political context, and on the themes, characters,
language and structure of the play, as well as a list of suggested
reading and questions for further study and a review of performance
history.
