read the following excerpt from act ii, scene 1 of lorraine hansberry's a raisin in the sun:
time: later the same day. at rise: ruth is ironing again. she has the radio going. presently beneatha's bedroom door opens and ruth's mouth falls and she puts down the iron in fascination.
ruth what have we got on tonight!
beneatha (emerging grandly from the doorway so that we can see her thoroughly robed in the costume asagai brought) you are looking at what a well-dressed nigerian woman wears — (she parades for ruth, her hair completely hidden by the headdress; she is coquettishly fanning herself with an ornate oriental fan, mistakenly more like butterfly than any nigerian that ever was) isn't it beautiful? (she promenades to the radio and, with an arrogant flourish, turns off the good loud blues that is playing) enough of this assimilationist junk! (ruth follows her with her eyes as she goes to the phonograph and puts on a record and turns and waits ceremoniously for the music to come up. then, with a shout —) ocomogosiay!
(ruth jumps. the music comes up, a lovely nigerian melody, beneatha listens, enraptured, her eyes far away — "back to the past." she begins to dance. ruth is dumbfounded)
