Who is Joseph asagai a raisin in the sun?
Joseph Asagai is a young African man who is friends with Beneatha (and wants and tries to be more than that). While the Younger family, Beneatha included, identifies more as African American and is comfortable with their American heritage and proud of their history as American citizens and the lessons they have learned from it, Asagai is equally proud of his African heritage, and wants to move back to Africa as soon as he can. He criticizes what he calls "assimilationist negroes" and sees advancement into American society as an abandonment of history and culture. He uses African words and nicknames for Beneatha and for himself, and gives Beneatha traditional African cultural clothing as gifts. His culture defines him, and he wants it to define Beneatha, too. He wants her to come back with him to Africa, where she will have more freedom and a greater potential.

Beneatha is Mama's daughter and Walter's sister. She is more educated than the rest of the family and they think that she is proud and kind of demanding. Asagai wants to marry her and take her to Africa, where he thinks her prospects will be higher, and she wants to go to medical school and become a doctor so that she can "make people better." This dream might be halted in its tracks because of Walter's misuse of money, but that is left uncertain at the end of the book. Beneatha is trying to decide who she is and who she wants to be as she grapples with the ideas of different influences- Asagai, who wants her to put aside her "assimilationist" leanings, her family, who thinks she should settle with a rich African American man to support her family, and her own childhood dream of becoming an educated woman and a doctor.
