Game Theory and Minorities in American Literature

Více o knize

The book explores the intersection of game theory and minoritarian literature, focusing on how strategic decision-making impacts narratives from authors like Frederick Douglass and Toni Morrison. It highlights John von Neumann's contributions to game theory, particularly in the context of socioeconomic factors stemming from slavery and the political climate of the late 1930s. By applying game-theoretic concepts such as the Stag Hunt and the Prisoner's Dilemma, the author analyzes how minoritarian voices navigate majoritarian challenges within their texts.
