A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry Book Summary

"Never before, in the entire history of the American theater, has so much of the truth of Black people's lives been seen on the stage," observed James Baldwin shortly before A Raisin in the Sun opened on Broadway in 1959.

This edition presents the fully restored, uncut version of Hansberry's landmark work with an introduction by Robert Nemiroff.

Lorraine Hansberry's award-winning drama about the hopes and aspirations of a struggling, working-class family living on the South Side of Chicago connected profoundly with the psyche of Black America—and changed American theater forever. The play's title comes from a line in Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem," which warns that a dream deferred might "dry up/like a raisin in the sun."

"The events of every passing year add resonance to A Raisin in the Sun," said The New York Times. "It is as if history is conspiring to make the play a classic."

What’s not to love?. God I hated having to read this for school, but it’s a play for God’s sake! I watched an old film adaptation of the play and it was a masterpiece

A timeless classic. 'Nuff said.

A Raisin in the Sun. It just goes to show, optimism & realism are exact opposites. :3

Noice. Pretty pretty pretty pretty good

Love it. Great read

Very well written.. This book was required for my school's summer reading program. It was a good way for me to see how people were back then struggling just trying coming out of poverty.

My opinion. I loved it.

A masterpiece. I just finished reading this and found it was so powerful, I am at a bit of a loss for words at the moment but I highly recommend it.

Great book. I'm a person who does like to read that much but this has become my favorite book

It's a great, short read.. Really shows what life was like during the times in the south side of Chicago during WWll. Good read though!

A Raisin In The Sun. AMAZING book!

Good. It was very good, meaningful and deep. I like it
