Document Summary
I was not sorry when my brother died. : tambu had a very rocky relationship with her brother. He is the one who gets to be the (cid:498)golden child(cid:499) of the family. Despite tambu"s intelligence and talents, she comes second and must settle for less than she deserves. However, once nhamo unexpectedly dies, her life drastically changes for the better. It"s a link to her heritage, and it also represents the ability to live off the land. It"s also a connection to the legacy she inherits and the wisdom and skills that are passed down through each generation. The garden also represents tambu"s means of escape, since she hopes to pay her school fees and further her education by growing and selling vegetables. Talks about the struggles of racism, challenging racism, and also discrimination against women. Sexualization of the african body comes from the colonizers, the african people do not sexualize the body, they feel comfortable naked.
