Using a pluridisciplinary approach that combines linguistic presupposition and fractal analysis, the book examines the many levels of meaning and similarity of pattern in literary texts studied for mathematical modeling, thereby enriching both of the contributing fields of study.\u003cp\u003eThe book covers a diverse range of topics with insight and outstanding scholarship. Whether exploring the roles of Christianity and Islam, the contributions of Marcus Garvey and Toussaint L'Ouverture, or concepts such as a pax Africana and the underdevelopment of Africa, the material addresses the implicit assumptions on which the truth of any statement hangs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter includes an introduction to help contextualize the selection, a review of relevant literature, analysis of the reading, a conclusion, and a complete list of references and sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFractal Complexity in the Works of Major Black Thinkers, Volume Two\u003c\/i\u003e can be used in upper-division and graduate level courses in political science, socio-linguistics, and public policy analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbdul Karim Bangura\u003c\/b\u003e holds Ph.D.s in political science, development economics, linguistics, computer science, and mathematics.
