Answer:

Beneatha puts on one of the Nigerian records that Asagai gave her and begins dancing and singing along with the African melody. With her costume and music choice, Beneatha embraces her African heritage. Nonetheless, her mistakenly “oriental” fan signifies that Beneatha still lacks a fully developed sense or understanding of true African identity.
