Tsitsi Dangarembga,one of the greatest women novelists in Zimbabwe,is best-known for her"Tambu Trilogy,"which skilfully embodies her sharp criticism of African patriarchal society and Western colonialism.The trilogy renders Dangarembga's intertextual criticism of the sexual blind spots in Zimbabwean public historical memory,Fanon's psychopathologyical writing on the colonized,and Ng(û)gĩ's assessment of the psychological impact of colonial education on the colonized.Equiped with the author's keen postcolonial-feminist consciousness,the triology not only remolds the women's images ignored and even stigmatized in the historical writings on"Chimurengu,"but highlights the"nervous conditions"suffered by the colonized women under the double oppressions imposed by colonial politics and patriarchal culture.Furthermore,furnished with the author's dialectical historical perception,the triology also unfolds the negative and affirmative effects of colonial education on the colonized females,who are likely to be trapped by colonial education but are never passive receivers,for they can be nourished by it and obtain certain power of liberation from it.
