Lorraine Hansberry: Playwright and Voice of Justice

128 pp. | Enslow | July, 1998 | Library ISBN 0-89490-945-2 $$19.95
(3) YA African-American Biographies series. Similar in scope to Young, Black, and Determined by Patricia C. and Fredrick L. McKissack, this biography does an able job of describing Hansberry's public persona and artistic goals without delving deeply into her personal life. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, the text details the ups and downs of Hansberry's writing career and traces the growing social conscience prematurely silenced at the playwright's untimely death. A time line is included. Bib., ind.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
