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 UR - http://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9780679755333.pdf UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random043/94020636.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/random047/94020636.html ER -
