A. Embracing one's identity can be empowering is one possible theme in "Raisin on the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry. The Youngers, the family and the main characters, are a black working class family. They can fight against racism because they all have clear dreams and they manage to be a united family. They can achieve their idividual goals in spite of difficulties. The mother of the family manages to, finally, get a house in a white neighbourhood, and the Youngers are emotionally strong to face that situation. They have fullfilled their dreams - identities -; they are a united family; they have been empowered, therefore they can face racism.
