LORRAINE HANSBERRY: A RAISIN IN THE SUN

Lorraine Hansberry touched the taproots of American life as never before in A Raisin in the Sun. She penetrated beyond the racial to create universal characters and enriched the American theater with the greatness of her understanding and talent. Set in the 1950s, A Raisin in the Sun depicts the struggle of the youngers, a working-class black family, against economic hardship and racial prejudice. It highlights the value and purpose of dreams, the needs to fight racial discrimination, and the importance of the family. This critical study takes into consideration the themes, motifs and symbols of the play. It analyzes and explores the text, as well as tackles several critical problems arising therefrom for the benefit of our university studnets. Shakti Batra has been Vice-principal, Dyal Singh College (University of Delhi), has also taught at the Kabul University and the University of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek.
