		Indeed, as I will argue, the relationship between nervous conditions and narrative was crucial to the cultural conceptualization of the nervous body, and nervous disorders could not be thought without an implicit, privileged association with narrative.
		Nervous conditions in 1800 were variously called hysteria, hypochondria, excess sensibility, spleen, vapours, lowness of spirits, biliousness or simply nerves.
		Despite the variety of names, nervous conditions were all structurally identical, and in practice their names were interchangeable.6 The primary difficulty in defining hysteria was the absence of any reliable symptoms.

	Span number 36 Postcolonial Fictions: Michelle Vizzard

	Androne
		Tsi Tsi Dangarembga's 1988 novel Nervous Conditions deconstructs the female novel of development as it records a young girl's growing disillusionment with the compromises she is forced into at a colonial mission school and her despair over her position as a woman in prerevolutionary Zimbabwe.
		Choosing "nervous conditions" for a title as an allusion to Fanon's phrase in The Wretched of the Earth "The condition of native is a nervous condition" - Dangarembga clearly means to foreground gender as the category which determines African women's lives and keeps them "natives" in relation to the dominant and controlling power structure.
		And finally, "nervous conditions" is also an ominous metaphor for those internalized definitions of femaleness that shape, from within women's private and public lives.

	Voice of the Turtle - Comrade of the Printer
		In its sensitive treatment of sexism, of the pain of hybridity, of the dark comedy of childhood and the bitter violence of colonialism, Nervous Conditions is an exemplary novel.
		The title itself is a quote from the introduction to Fanon's Wretched of the Earth: "The condition of native is a nervous condition." [1].
		The entire sentence reads "The condition of 'native' is a nervous condition, introduced and maintained by the settler among colonised people with their consent."(Italics in original.) Very Gramsci.
