151 pages ; 18 cmWhen it was first produced in 1959, A Raisin in the Sun was awarded the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for that season and hailed as a watershed in American drama. A pioneering work by an African-American playwright, the play was a radically new representation of black life. "A play that changed American theater forever." The story tells of a Black family's experiences in south Chicago, as they attempt to improve their financial circumstances with an insurance payout following the death of the father, and deals with matters of housing discrimination, racism, and assimilation.Lorraine Hansberry ; with an introduction by Robert Nemiroff."Originally published in 1958."Accelerated Reader Grades 9-12 5.5 5 Quiz 56457 English fiction, vocabulary quiz available.n-us-iln-us---Hansberry, Lorraine1930-1965Hansberry, Lorraine1930-1965 1900-1999 fast African American familiesIllinoisChicagoDramaAfrican AmericansIllinoisChicagoDramaDiscrimination in housingIllinoisChicagoDramaAmerican drama20th centuryAfro-AmericansHistory20th centuryDramaAfro-American familiesDramaSOCIAL SCIENCEEthnic StudiesAfrican American StudiesAmerican dramaAfrican American familiesAfrican AmericansDiscrimination in housingRace relationsAfrican AmericansHistoryDramaUnited StatesRace relationsDramaIllinoisChicagoUnited StatesAfrican American familiesDrama.PS3515.A515 H19Hansberry, L.067975533094020636Random House Inc, Attn Order Entry 400 Hahn rd, Westminster, MD, USA, 21157http://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9780679755333.pdfhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random043/94020636.htmlhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/random047/94020636.html090129005505http://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9780679755333.pdfhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random043/94020636.htmlhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/random047/94020636.htmlDLC94052020240531112235.0ocm30594339 eng
