Hansberry's Drama: Commitment Amid Complexity

Hansberry's Drama: Commitment Amid Complexity (University of Illinois Press, $27.50), an examination of the life and work of the gifted Black playwright Lorraine Hansberry, who died at age 34, leaving behind a number of finished and partially finished plays and screenplays, not the least of which is the classic A Raisin in the Sun. Steven Carter, an associate professor of history at the University of Puerto Rico, was granted unlimited access to Hansberry's manuscripts and papers and emerges with a portrait of the artist's social, political and philosophical views and their relation to her artistic triumphs and goals.
