Murray examines a reimagined and usable South in Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun. Hansberry uses the Younger family's Southern history to provide her characters with a sense of grounded identity and pride that enables the family to move beyond the limitations of their current environment and into a more sustainable space. Reading Hansberry's play as promoting a connection to a "Southern" history/heritage could understandably elicit some reservations, in that the very conception of the South as a discernable region is one that is fraught with complications and contentions.
