Michael Jackson and the Reinvention of Pop by Joseph Vogel
Before Michael Jackson, white rock dominated radio, MTV and print media, black artists were relegated to second-class categories, and pop was a euphemism for bubblegum fluff. After Michael Jackson, pop became the umbrella term for all of popular music - and the artist made sure he was coronated its king. In this new collection, critically-acclaimed author Joseph Vogel (Man in the Music: The Creative Life and Work of Michael Jackson) gathers together some of his most provocative and challenging work on the enigmatic icon. Featuring twenty original pieces, this fascinating mosaic explores a wide range of subject matter: from behind-the-scenes histories of Jackson's songs, to his cinematic ambitions, to his rivalry with Prince, to the ways in which he expanded the possibilities of pop.Joseph Vogel is an English Assistant Professor at Merrimack College in the United States. He wrote Man in the Music: Michael Jackson's Artistic Life and Career (2011) and James Baldwin and the 1980s: Witnessing the Reagan Era (forthcoming 2018). His writing has featured on a variety of popular news sites, including The Atlantic, Slate, The Huffington Post, and PopMatters, as well as in a number of peer-reviewed journals, such as the James Baldwin Review, the F. The Scott Fitzgerald Review, The Journal of Popular Culture, and The Journal of Popular Music Studies are among the journals that publish Scott Fitzgerald's work.
