	Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous Conditions: Coming of Age and Adolescence as Representative of Multinational Hybridity
		Dangarembga's ideas mirror both the socio-political influence of the civil war against Ian Smith's rule for which the second generation of English-educated Zimbabweans is known and the themes of alienation from both family life and European culture for which the third generation is known.
		Dangarembga commands older Tambu to take the reader through a journey of her past in order to use the adolescent state as a metaphor for the individual experiencing these changes.
		It is intriguing that Dangarembga highlights a wedding scene as one of the main points of transition which Tambu writes about in her autobiography because weddings are clearly places where people must confront the intersection between culture, tradition, and modernism.

	SparkNotes: Nervous Conditions: Context
		Tsitsi Dangarembga finished writing Nervous Conditions when she was in her mid-twenties and, upon its publication in 1988, won widespread critical acclaim for its complex and nuanced portrayal of the challenges that a young Shona girl faces in her efforts to break free of her impoverished background and acquire an education.
		Dangarembga was born in 1959 in a small town in Zimbabwe that was known as the colony of Rhodesia.
		However, Dangarembga’s talents lie in her ability to take the autobiographical details of her own life and transform them into a multifaceted and highly realistic novel peopled with psychologically rich and varied characters.

	The Zimbabwean - An Independent Zimbabwe Newspaper
		In the internecine strife between the girls of the school's African dormitory Dangarembga mirrors deftly the wider nationalist struggle between those who sought to accommodate the settler regime, to fit within it as good assimilated natives, and those who sought to challenge it and to destroy it.
		Dangarembga has an excellent eye for mannerism and detail; her description of school life and its characters feels true.
		Dangarembga is currently writing the third novel in what is to be a trilogy.

		Dangarembga says that she wrote of "things I had observed and had had direct experience with," but "larger than any one person’s own tragedies…[with] a wider implication and origin and therefore were things that needed to be told" (190).

	Nervous Conditions
		Tsitsi Dangarembga was born in Rhodesia, now called Zimbabwe in 1959.
		Tsitsi Dangarembga's portrayal of five women in her novel Nervous Conditions is a striking reminder that African women are under a double yoke when it comes to making their voices heard.
		Dangarembga's use of two highly sterilized and valued, yet common commodities of the European lifestyle as the instruments of Nyasha's destruction shows the reader how pervasive and subversive the elements of colonization are in the lives of the colonized.

	Education, Development, and Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions, March 14, 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		One novel in particular, Tsitsi Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions, has taught me that the social institution of "education" is by no means a monolithic system.
		Dangarembga, a native Zimbabwean who studied psychology in Britain, is herself both a developing-nation "girl child" (now all grown up) and an educated critic looking at Zimbabwe from without.
		To read her story about the education of one particular woman is an education in itself.

	Nervous Conditions: Subverting Western Expectations
		Typically, tension or conflict escalates during the course of the story so that when it explodes, the reactions of all characters are explainable.
		Dangarembga has not led the reader through the maze to expect this kind of action.
		Because Dangarembga presents all of the tension between Babamukuru and Nyasha through Tambudzai's exposition, rather than through action in the story, the reader cannot anticipate such a severe verbal and physical expression of it.

		She is a Zimbabwean playwright, novelist, and filmmaker who tackles head-on the oppression wrought by patriarchy and colonialism on African women.
		Dangarembga could be called a feminist, but she shies away from the loaded term, opting for something more holistic, humanist.

		Throughout her young adult life, Tambudzai witnesses many cultural tendencies of her people and struggles internally with what she is being taught versus what she observes and believes to be right.
		Exceptionally written, Dangarembga's novel, although about the learning period during a young teenager's life, is not child's play.
		Tsitsi Dangarembga has talent, no doubt, but there is room for improvement.

		She cites one problem that Zimbabwean people of her generation—and Nyasha’s—have is "that we really don’t have a tangible history that we can relate to" (191); "that was the [colonized] system we were living under.
		"The title, Nervous Conditions, comes from a statement Dangarembga uses as the prologue to her novel - 'The condition of native is a nervous condition' - taken from the [Jean-Paul Sartre's] introduction to Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth (1963), in which he wrote about the psychosocial effects of colonization.

		In Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions, Makuchi's Your Madness, Not Mine, and Emecheta's The Joys of Motherhood, it is the men who first embrace the colonial practices.
		Lucia transcends the obstacles in her path, her illiteracy and stigma as a "loose woman," to become an educated woman.
		Like Makuchi and Dangarembga's characters, African female writers must bond together to support, encourage, and validate each other as they continue on their journey to liberate the African woman.
