George, Rosemary Marangoly, and Helen Scott. “An Interview with Tsitsi Dangarembga.” Novel (Spring 1993):309-319. [This interview was conducted at the African Writers Festival, Brown Univ., Nov. 1991]
Excerpt from Introduction: “Written when the author was twenty-five, Nervous Conditions put Dangarembga at the forefront of the younger generation of African writers producing literature in English today.Nervous Conditions highlights that which is often effaced in postcolonial African literature in English–the representation of young African girls and women as worthy subjects of literature….While the critical reception of this novel has focused mainly on the authors feminist agenda, in [this] interview…Dangarembga stresses that she has moved from a somewhat singular consideration of gender politics to an appreciation of the complexities of the politics of postcolonial subjecthood” (309).
