This book is the first in a series geared toward the analyses of fractal complexities in the works of major African/Black thinkers from the continent and the Diaspora. The major challenge for us was how to transform the linguistic pragmatic or deep-level meanings in the literary texts studied for mathematical modeling. This called for the utilization of a pluridisciplinary approach that helped us to mix linguistics and mathematical approaches:...

This book contributes to the debate over the culpability of the Trans-Atlantic Slave from various disciplinary perspectives. The general thesis that undergirds the book is that by knowing who was predisposed to benefit the most from the trade and why, prompting them to initiate it, appropriate culpability can be assigned. This approach also allowed for a more in-depth analysis of the issue from many disciplines, making it the first of its kind...
