TRAUMA AND LOSS IN ABUBAKAR ADAM IBRAHIM SEASON OF THE CRIMSON

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Abubakar Adam Ibrahim’s Season of Crimson Blossoms is a story of a family dealing with the aftermath of the religious and ethnic unrests that plagued Jos between 2008 and 2010. These unrests resulted in the death of thousands, and saw neighbour turn against neighbour; damaging the sense of community that once existed. In the wake of this, the protagonist – Hajiya Binta – is relocated to the outskirts of Abuja by her wealthy son, Munkaila, when we encounter her story. This phase of her life is foreshadowed and doomed both by the title of the narrative and the opening tone.

By making central grief and trauma, the author shows the way they can manifest themselves regardless of time and distance, and simultaneously, bring people together. He shows grief across different age groups, particularly as pertained to death. His telling of grief reminds the reader that war and insecurity, like that faced in the middle belt of Nigeria, have repercussions beyond the physical. This narrative elicits an important conversation on psychological trauma.

Be it in the bedroom with Hajiya or amongst his friends at San Siro, Reza – a kingpin area boy – is rarely without a joint in hand. In this sense, one can understand why critics pool the book into the genre of “magic realism” as fumes of perfume and cannabis are prevalent narrative constructs throughout. When under the influence of the drug, the reader observes a distinct shift in Reza’s tone: he either takes on a morbid philosophical perspective, or vocalises a dissatisfaction with his childhood.

The cannabis rounds out his character so that we see both the damage his childhood wrought on his psyche, and the potential within him to achieve a lot more than his current occupation allows. In a way, this could be viewed as a fair attempt to buy into a “magic.” However, Ibrahim’s exclusion of how images could be distorted under the fumes of this substance, takes away a layer of complexity that makes it hard to wholly identify with the categorisation of this novel as magic realism.

San Siro: Not Just A Place In Milan

That aside, I particularly enjoyed the construct and discussion of San Siro which is located within a predominantly Muslim community. San Siro negates the idea that occupants of the same locale have the same lived experiences. It operates with its own set of rules – scoffing in the face of governmental authority. It is also the place where area boys and runaways hang out, buy drugs and find women with whom they can carouse. San Siro’s occupants are heathens; refraining from all religious activity, partaking in illegal activity and constituting general nuisance with their late-night revelry.

The community provides a sharp contrast between the domesticity of Hajiya’s house and the grandiose comical performance Reza is treated to when visiting the Senator – his boss. The occupants that make up San Siro sought escape from parental and societal expectations of ‘normalcy’. Despite their eccentricities, an appraisal of Nigeria’s economic climate makes it near impossible not to understand what drives these men to seek unconventional ways of life. Ibrahim’s presentation of the group dynamics makes this bunch of men, oddly, very loveable.
