THE LITTLE BLACK BOOKS in Methodology, Theory & Praxis

The Universal Write Publications (UWP) Little Black Book Series is a collection of books on social science methodology that guides research on statistical and empirical methods. The books teach students, researchers (including community-based researchers), and instructors about culturally valid, humanizing, life-affirming, and liberatory methods and methodologies in the tradition of Africana Studies (also referred to as Africology, Black Studies, Pan-African Studies, etc.). Special emphasis is placed on how specific methods or methodologies are applied across the various stages of the research process, including qualitative, quantitative, ethnographic, historiographic, and mixed research methods. These texts will help readers understand and, more importantly, implement research methods and methodologies specifically designed to explore, explain, describe, and advance African/Black communities for anyone studying or teaching in these disciplines. With specific key assumptions, steps, and illustrative examples, each volume guides systematic thinking about the African/Black world.
