"i Shall Go To School": Girls' Education And Displacement In Tsitsi Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions



Authors : Chekroun Samir . Hamza Reguig Mouro Wassila .

Abstract

This paper seeks to explore the challenges that young African women face in their quest for a good education during the postcolonial era through Tsitsi Dangarembga’s novel Nervous Conditions. Because of the patriarchal structure of the African society, colonial education in Africa was mainly male-oriented. It provides African men with the adequate knowledge and wisdom that guarantee for them a good social and economic life, while women are deprived from this opportunity and condemned to subordination. Tambu, Dangarembga’s female protagonist, was a victim of gender discrimination in her father’s homestead. As a very young girl she resented the fact that her brother, Nhamo, was sent to school while she was obliged to stay at home. The sudden death of Nhamo allowed Tambu to take his place at the mission school. This displacement from the homestead to the mission was a real opportunity for her to get a good colonial education and achieve her freedom.
