American Scenes: Lorraine Hansberry

This is an excellent resource page on Hansberry's Raisin in the Sun, covering both the play and the 1961 film version. The visitor can access a transcript of an electronic discussion about the play as well as eleven other critical essays concerning aspects of the work. For example, there is a discussion of African culture, heritage, assimilation, and tradition; an analysis of pride in the Younger family; and a discussion of the generation gaps shown in the work.
