Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga

Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga

Tambu is determined to get an education in 1960s colonial Rhodesia despite her family's poverty and her culture's preference for educating sons, and when a chance arrives to study at her wealthy uncle's mission school, she discovers that escaping one set of constraints delivers her straight into another.

Dangarembga writes colonialism, patriarchy and class through the lens of two cousins — one shaped entirely by colonial education, one still rooted in the world it displaces — making the novel a foundational text of postcolonial African women's writing. It was named to the BBC's list of the 100 novels that shaped the world.

A landmark of African literature, and one of the first English-language novels by a Black Zimbabwean woman.
