Inventing a Fishbowl: White Supremacy and… : DASH Story 2013-02-20
I am an academic at a small liberal arts college teaching African American Drama. I would like to engage in contemporary scholarship on "Raisin in the Sun" so that my analysis of the play extends beyond the basic level. Thank you for making the essay available.

I am a high school English teacher, and I am introducing my students to the research process. I am using a link to an article on DASH from a Wikipedia page in order to help my students learn to use bibliographies in order to locate sources for their papers. The DASH article helps my students have access to scholarly information that they might not otherwise have, and also, it helps them to distinguish an article in a scholarly journal from an anonymous Wikipedia entry.

Needed to find a source to help establish my ethos for a dramatic analysis on "A Raisin in the Sun" and this was a delightful find!

I thank God and Harvard that this article was made available for open access. Without it, my Term Paper on the critical reception of "A Raisin in the Sun" would be considerably more difficult to write without sources. Thank you for being such an awesome and benevolent major research University.

I am a teacher who works with others teachers on teaching. I am also a fellow at Stanford, and in attempting to generate "authentic questions" in their suggested mode to support interpretation of literature, I am using this essay, or a portion of it, with another teacher and her students to demonstrate that people really do argue about literature and that it's that arguing which helps us figure out ourselves and our world.
