Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, University of Innsbruck (Anglistik), language: English, abstract: Not long ago, the topic of drug abuse was considered a taboo subject in African literature. Now issues like drug abuse are starting to be openly addressed. This opens up a completely new possibility for African authors to bring in cultural aspects in their narrations. Within the scope of this bachelor thesis, the role of drug consumption within the African context will be analysed by looking at the role drug abuse plays in contemporary African fiction and in how far this representation in literature reflects the actual cultural situation in Africa. Abubakar Adam Ibrahim's "Season of Crimson Blossoms" and Chris Albani's "Graceland" will hereby serve as the basis for the literary analysis. By means of a literature sociological approach, the African social milieu and conformities of cultural and narrative structure will be elaborated.
Both books are contemporary African respectively Nigerian works that deal with drug abuse. While Graceland was published in 2004, Season of Crimson Blossoms had its initial publication in 2015.
