Lorraine Hansberry Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
19. máj 1930 – 12. január 1965
Lorraine Hansberry bola americká dramatička a spisovateľka, ktorej dielo sa ponorilo do života a bojov černošských Američanov, najmä proti rasovej segregácii. Bola prvou černošskou ženou, ktorej hra sa objavila na Broadwayi. Jej tvorba, ovplyvnená osobnými skúsenosťami jej rodiny s proti-segregačnými bojmi a prácou v panafrickalistických novinách, sa zaoberala témami oslobodenia Afriky a sexuality. Hansberry zanechala nezmazateľnú stopu v americkej literatúre a inšpirovala generácie svojimi silnými, tematicky bohatými dielami.

“Anyone who has ever wondered what it really means to be Black will find the answer in this book.”—MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE To Be Young, Gifted and Black is a special kind of autobiography, in a very special voice. Both the story and the voice belong to a young woman from Chicago who moved to New York, won fame with her first play, A Raisin in the Sun—and went on to new heights of artistry before her tragically early death. In turns angry, loving, bitter, laughing, and defiantly proud, the story, voice, and message are all Lorraine Hansberry’s own, coming together in one of the major works of the Black experience in mid-twentieth-century America. “A milestone.”—TIME “Wonderfully moving and entertaining.”—Clive Barnes, THE NEW YORK TIMES “I advise anybody who is interested in the human condition, black or white, to read it.”—NEWSDAY
"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."
Drama černošské autorky je protestem proti rasové a mravní diskriminaci amerických černochů. Ukazuje, jak sociální situace černých občanů USA je dále komplikována rasovým útlakem a jak se postižení ocitají na pokraji ztráty lidské důstojnosti.
