	Discussion #5 Tambu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Not only does Tambu become very educationed, but she ultimately through all of her hardships from trying to be education (since her father wouldn't send her to school, and she attempted to sell maize to pay for her own school), she discovered herself, which is the greatest thing of all.
		Tambu definitely started to feel a lot of resentment towards her family about the limitations they were trying to set on her.
		Tambu's mother advises her, "..what will help you, my child, is to learn to carry your burdens [being fl and a woman} with strength (N.C. On the other hand, Tambu had a couple of female roles that encouraged her to not give in.

		Tambu grew up on her family's impoverished farm within a traditional native society; her determination to receive an education, however, brings her into contact with British colonialism in the form of mission schools.
		Tambu grows maize to earn her school fees because there is only enough family money for her brother, only to have her brother steal her produce and give it to friends.
		Tambu, who yearns to be free of the constraints of her rural village, especially the circumscribed lives of the women, thinks her dreams have come true when her wealthy uncle offers to sponsor her education.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Dangarembga, Tsitsi
		Tambu knows the pleasures of village life, cooking for family celebrations and caring for smaller children, as well as its hardships, but she longs for education and thinks she can avoid its hazards, though she recognises that speaking English will alienate her from her mother.
		Tambu wants to free herself from traditional life, and welcomes the mirror in the bedroom she shares with Nyasha in Umtali as it was “so bright and new that it reflected only the present”.
		Tambu's nervous condition begins when she is pigeon-holed as a female native and ends when “something in my mind began to assert itself, to question things and refuse to be brainwashed”.

		If Tambu fails to escape her home, she can expect to be worn down in the same way that her mother was: a life of constant hard labor enforced by tradition with little hope of improvement makes escape through education "a burning necessity" (pg.123).
		Tambu and her family are very concerned about the possibility that she will forget them, that she will remember her childhood home as happy and will not share her wealth.
		Tambu, in the figures of her mother, uncle, and brother, sees three possible paths, and at the beginning of her education, one of her nervous conditions is created by the enormous pressure she feels to get on the right track and by the fear that she is already too far down the wrong path.

		Through her brother, Tambu sees that "[education] enabled him to avoid the uncomfortable tasks of pulling down and stacking the maize and stripping the cobs of their leaves." Education freed him from the "dirty" work of the home and the farm.
		There is a scene in the midst of Tambu's education, as she is climbing the social ladder, when all of her plans nearly fall apart because of her body.
		Tambu respects her uncle; she admires the fact that he is very well educated.

	Nervous Conditions
		Tambu was raised on her family's farm in Umtali where she was responsible for household chores, gardening, and caring for her younger siblings.
		Tambu's dreams of getting an education are only fulfilled when her brother dies and she becomes next in line for school since she has no other brothers.
		Tambu is also expected to provide for her family after she graduates and there is quite a bit of discussion among her family members about the worthlessness of her education since she would eventually only be helping out her husband's family and not her own.

		Tambu’s purpose was to be able to embrace the knowledge provided by English education while at the same time not forgetting her own heritage.
		Tambu's mother is an entrapped character, entrapped within her family, and in society as an African woman.
		Because Tambu’s mother is a woman, she will never be seen as more than a possession of the men in her family even though it is through her hard work and perseverance that her son is able to go to school and learn to provide for the family.

		Tambu concludes after hearing her grandmother's tale that "this indicated that life could be lived with a modicum of dignity in any circumstances if you worked hard enough and obeyed the rules...
		Tambu tells us in the beginning of the novel that she and Lucia "escape," her mother and Maiguru are "trapped," and Nyasha "fails" in her rebellion.
		Tambu's journey to selfhood and success is disrupted, but her connection with other women exemplifies the possibility of political agency when women join their efforts.

		Also, Tambu was delighted with the fact that she could meet many people of different races which introduced her to even more ways of living as well as the variety of people living on Earth.
		Tambu's mind now was always thinking about things she could have or goals she wanted to accomplish in the future.
		Naturally, Tambu probably forgot about what it was like to have responsibilities and chores around the house because all the cleaning and preparing was done for her.

	The Voice of the Turtle
		Tambu tells of the changes she notices in her brother upon his return from school: his increasing disdain for manual labour, his nurtured penchant for the civilised, his laziness, his new contempt for the women in his family, and "he had forgotten how to speak Shona".
		Tambu's father's initial hostility towards letting her go to school is overcome, and Tambu returns to school to complete her pre-primary lessons.
		His exchanges with Tambu's father demonstrate the pliability of the father, the doubt which occasionally disturbs Babamukuru, his stubborn resolve once a decision is made, and the awe in which he is held, a veneration that allows his obstinacy to go unchallenged.

		Though Tambu takes over her dead brother's place (the privilege and responsibility of being educated in the family is usually reserved for the eldest son), her mother experiences a heartfelt backlash when the familial patriarchy decides to send Tambu to a Western school after Nhamo's death.
		For Tambu, Westernization is a necessity, even after she witnesses the mental demise of Nyasha and, early in the novel, is disgusted by the fact that Nhamo has forgotten Shona.
		Tambu's character is further complicated by her complimentary literary foil, Nyasha, who has suffered from her own (dis)positioning in colonial discourses and subsequent "nervous conditions." Again, allegorical figures swap their symbolisms.

		“Tambu and Nyasha are struggling to inhabit their seemingly “unnatural” positions within the educated class of Zimbabwean women faced with the changing values and mores of a country on the verge of fl rule” (111).
		Tambu shows that post-colonial life needs to be re-structured and include pieces of her past, as well as elements of colonialism, to essentially create a new position for herself.
		All of the differences that make up Tambu’s story and set her apart from all other women are the defining characteristics that construct her as a woman or even as native.

	Discussion 5: Tambu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Tambu knows that her father is lazy and does not contribute much to the welfare of the family.
		Nyasha asks Tambu to take a walk with her so she can smoke a cigarette and Tambu really wants to go and spend time with Nyasha, but refuses because she doesn’t want to get in trouble with her uncle and doesn’t want to disrespect him.
		However, I feel a big difference between Tambu and Okonkwo was that Tambu was driven by a hunger for knowledge and was motivated to not end up like her mother.

		Tambu (in depletion) is the cultural and symbolic representation and personification of Tolai group and ethnic identity.
		Tambu is both life and death for the Tolai as a symbolic representation of ethnic cultural identity and meaningful motivating purpose in life (it could be much more in the subconscious level than on the conscious in contemporary times)[14].
		Tambu is significant both in its commercial value, as well as in its uniqueness for the establishment, sustainability and manipulation of social relationships among the Tolai in clan and kinship ties.

	Dare to Be Different
		While the readers can understand the helplessness of Tambu’s monther, it must be discouraging for Tambu who was exposed to all this not to fall in the same trap her mother fell in.
		Women like Tambu’s mother “had no models on which to from their lives, nor could they themselves become mentors” (Heilburn, 25) They had to ‘endure an obey’ and be subject to the abusive expectations of their societies.
		Tambu suffered from all kinds of injustices, from being deprived of an education to having to put up with her father’s and brother’s insults and put downs.

		Tambu, the main character’s mother, Mainini, is "crushed by the weight of womanhood" and is forever bound to poverty.
		Tambu’s aunt, Maiguru, is the most educated woman in the family, but has "entrapped" herself in the expected ways of being a woman.
		Tambu and Nyasha are both the same age and grow to be very close while Tambu is at the mission living with her uncle and his family.

		'Tambu, an adolescent living in colonial Rhodesia of the '60s, seizes the opportunity to leave her rural community to study at the missionary school run by her wealthy, British-educated uncle.
		Like many heroes of the bildungsroman, Tambu, in addition to excelling at her curriculum, slowly reaches some painful conclusions--about her family, her proscribed role as a woman, and the inherent evils of colonization.
		Tambu often thinks of her mother, "who suffered from being female and poor and uneducated and fl so stoically." Yet, she and her cousin, Nyasha, move increasingly farther away from their cultural heritage.

		The transition that Nyasha undergoes when Tambu's father sponsors her education is humorous and poignant as she struggles with English and new conventions.
		Tambu develops insecurities of her own due to self expectation and the challenges awaiting her.
		Tambu is philosophical about her circumstances saying: "I told myself that I was a much more sensible person than Nyasha, because I knew what could or couldn't be done." Mainini's greatest fear is that she will be unable to communicate with her daughter one day.

		Tambu's movement from her homestead, which symbolizes rural decay, to the prosperous, urban mission of her uncle introduces us to a cast of characters scarred by encounters with the savagery of colonialism in the context of an indigenously oppressive socius.
		Nor is Nhamo's behavior unusual; while Tambu acknowledges that "Nhamo was not interested in being fair," she insists he was not being obnoxious, merely behaving "in the expected manner" (12).
		Tambu's changing consciousness is the stuff of hope; it is no less than the promise of a different text, a whole new corpus, in the future.

		The cover art of TAMBU depicts a cheap paperback novel, set in exotic far-away lands, with the promise of romance, adventure, and danger.

		Tambu (representative, obviously, of all colonized) is a character fighting to find her place in two worlds.
		For Tambu, this means that she mistakes the message of the whites for the message of the Bible.
		But she is persuaded by her family pride, by the thought of her parents made comic relief, by the absurdity of the idea.

		When Toto was in the middle of recording the album which would later be named "Tambu", Steve Lukather asked listeners of the Dutch radio show "Countdown Cafe" for suggestions on a title.
		The latter one was used as the title for the instrumental piece on "Tambu", sometimes called "Jake to the bone II" by fans.
		The word Tambu is the name for an ancient South-American dance, which is pictured on the sleeve of the album.

		The police (an imaginative constabulary) who had retrieved Tambu's corpse from his carbonized apartment never made up their minds whether Tambu's igneous demise had been a case of self-immolation or mindless caprice.
		Tambu returned a steadfast "No!" to his brother's persuasive, sometimes tearful remonstrations who returned, broken-spirited, to New York where he was a student.
		It was reasonably comfortable and quiet except for the janitor whom Tambu seemed to have a jaundiced opinion of - "He is so nosy that I do not believe he would have any difficulty distinguishing all the odorous nuances of the brimstone in the Netherworld".

		Perhaps because the sisterhood in each novel is born in oppression, however, the women recognize other forms of oppression that have been borne by the very men who in turn limit and victimize female family members.
		Tambu must seek empowerment without succumbing to the cultural hybridity that has so damaged her cousin Nyasha, whose experience in England came at too young an age for her to defend herself and alienates her even from her own parents, whom she describes as “stuck with hybrids for children” (78).
		Discuss specifically the ways in which Tambu's opportunities to change her life for the better are affected by the death of her brother Nhamo and what this represents in terms of the Shona patrilineal culture.

		As the story begins, we learn that Tambu can only pursue her educational goals after the death of her brother – who, according to her culture, has the right to be educated first.
		Tambu feels beholden to Babamukuru because of his generosity and willingness to help her move away from poverty, thus she rarely challenges or questions his authority.
		Although the ending is rather abrupt, we are told that Tambu evolves into an assertive, critical woman who can see the political systems trapping both the men and women of her family.

		Tambu – the album – was a conceit born of a love for pulp-fiction covers and tawdry bedside reading.
		The album concept, devised by Eric Scott and Doug Brown (WorldWest Communications), involved a period juke joint setting, in which the band were to be filmed and photographed while performing, for both their album photography and music video "I Will Remember"...
		The design of the sleeve itself was a laborious affair, involving the creation of a custom typeface "5 4 0" (a distressed variation on Caslon) and many coffee-stained and soiled pages of a lyric booklet; representing the innards of the same pulp novel...
