An extraordinarily well-crafted work, this book is a work of vision. Through its deft negotiation of race, class, gender and cultural change, it dramatizes the 'nervousness' of the 'postcolonial' conditions that bedevil us still. In Tambu and the women of her family, we African women see ourselves, whether at home or displaced, doing daily battle with our changing world with a mixture of tenacity, bewilderment and grace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"TSITSI DANGAREMBGA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43155022184630,"sku":"","price":710.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1794\/2710\/files\/158674.jpg?v=1716040577"},{"product_id":"this-mournable-body","title":"This Mournable Body","description":"\u003ch5\u003e(NOTE: The Book cover may vary if published by different companies.)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAuthor: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/tsitsi-dangarembga\"\u003eTsitsi Dangarembga\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBinding: SOFTBACK\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCategory: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/fiction\"\u003eFICTION\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePublisher: LOCAL\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePages: 301\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the book: \u003cb\u003eA searing novel about the obstacles facing women in Zimbabwe, by one of the country’s most notable authors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnxious about her prospects after leaving a stagnant job, Tambudzai finds herself living in a run-down youth hostel in downtown Harare. For reasons that include her grim financial prospects and her age, she moves to a widow’s boarding house and eventually finds work as a biology teacher. But at every turn in her attempt to make a life for herself, she is faced with a fresh humiliation, until the painful contrast between the future she imagined and her daily reality ultimately drives her to a breaking point.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn This Mournable Body, Tsitsi Dangarembga returns to the protagonist of her acclaimed first novel, Nervous Conditions, to examine how the hope and potential of a young girl and a fledgling nation can sour over time and become a bitter and floundering struggle for survival. As a last resort, Tambudzai takes an ecotourism job that forces her to return to her parents’ impoverished homestead. It is this homecoming, in Dangarembga’s tense and psychologically charged novel, that culminates in an act of betrayal, revealing just how toxic the combination of colonialism and capitalism can be.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Tsitsi Dangarembga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005641679030,"sku":null,"price":770.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1794\/2710\/files\/36479936.jpg?v=1774484881"}],"url":"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/collections\/tsitsi-dangarembga-1.oembed","provider":"Booksvilla.pk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
