Abstract
Both Chinua Achebe and Tsitsi Dangarembga explore the role of Christian mission in their narratives Things Fall Apart and Nervous Conditions. The imperative of Christian mission raises the question of how universal truth claims are applied to the particulars of a given culture and locality. While Achebe examines the cataclysmic effect of early missions upon the entire Igbo culture and manner of life, Dangarembga enters the historical discourses concerning Africa at a later moment, and considers the role of an institutionalised missionary organisation in Zimbabwe at more familial and personal levels.
