Essay from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Literature, The University of North Carolina at Wilmington, course: ENG 502, language: English, abstract: Lorraine Hansberry's Tony Award-nominated play, A Raisin in the Sun, spotlights the dreams and struggles of an African American family in mid-1950s Chicago. This was a time before affirmative action, when racial tensions were at their peak. Changes in public opinion and legislation were leading to race riots all over the nation. Through character relationships, dialogue and conflict, Lorraine Hansberry shows how classism, discrimination and gender roles inhibited minorities at the height of the Civl Rights Movement.
