A Reader's Guide to Lorraine Hansberry's a Raisin in the Sun (Multicultural Literature) [Library Binding]

Pamela Loos (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up—A Raisin in the Sun has become part of the literary canon and is required reading for many students. This guide is intended to help them better appreciate the social milieu out of which this play emerged. Accordingly, it focuses on major characters in one chapter each, in which their strengths, weaknesses, and roles in the drama are discussed. Other chapters discuss its plot, themes, and importance; Hansberry's life; and other works by her. In many ways, the play's time and plot are vestiges of a distant American past that most students today cannot easily relate to, making this volume a fine resource.—Carol Jones Collins, Columbia High School, Maplewood, NJ
