Beschreibung

<p><b>A revised Student Edition of Lorraine Hansberry's iconic 1959 play - the first play produced on Broadway to be written by a Black woman. </b><br><br>Alongside the play text itself, this edition contains commentary and notes by Isaiah Wooden, which consider the play's: <br><br>&gt; socio-historical context (including the Jim Crow laws and racial segregation in the US)<br><br>&gt; major themes (including African-American identity, property ownership, and emergent Black feminist politics)<br><br>&gt; structure and devices (including mid-20th century reality family dramas, "genuine realism" and Hansberry's use of music, dance and song in the play)<br><br>&gt; production history (from the premiere production to the 2014 Broadway revival starring Denzel Washington and LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Dawn Walton's 2016 UK touring production) <br><br>&gt; engagement with the play (including contemporary "response" pieces such as <i>Neighbors </i>by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, <i>Clybourne Park </i>by Bruce Norris and <i>Beneatha's Place</i> by Kwame Kwei-Armah)<br><br>The notes section at the back of the edition contains definitions of terminology used in the play with which students may not be familiar. <br><br>Overall, this edition helps students to make sense of Hansberry's play and its politics through a contemporary lens, in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement, and in line with current debates around race, gender and class.</p>
