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.
