Michael Jackson died in 2009, but he has never really left us and
there are no signs he ever will. A globally acclaimed child star in
the 1970s, the world's premier entertainer in the final decades of
the 20th century, a perplexingly odd character in the 21st century,
Jackson defied every known category and became borderline
incomprehensible. To remedy this, in The Destruction and Creation
of Michael Jackson, Ellis Cashmore reflects the restless,
unorthodox and mysterious life Jackson led in order to understand
more about him as well as his cultural impact. Exploring how
Jackson emerged from the post-civil rights era when America was
searching for someone who symbolized a new age as it struggled to
unburden itself of racial inequality, Cashmore's book is the first
to examine Jackson's career through the prisms of American racial
politics and celebrity culture. Uniquely structured, beginning in
the present and journeying back to Jackson's birth, The Destruction
and Creation of Michael Jackson will excite and enliven debates on
this controversial figure, one that very much continues to remain
embedded within our culture.
