Nervous Conditions-Tsitsi Dangarembga

I bet we don't have this in the library. It's a really good book though. More African literature! "Nervous Conditions" is a classic of African literature, as one of the only novels written by a woman to be published on the continent. Chronicling the story of Tambu and her rise from her family's homestead to a high school education, Dangarembga focuses on the gender inequality and Christian influence that pervades the lives of native Zimbabweans. An excellent and informative read, great for anyone who wants a first hand account of what life is like for young, black women in Africa.
