New Books Take a Groundbreaking Look at Michael Jackson’s Short Films and His Legacy

A major new two-volume work on Michael Jackson is on the horizon, and it promises to reshape how fans, students, and scholars understand his art. Michael Jackson’s Radical Aesthetic, written by Willa Stillwater and published by Routledge, takes an expansive, deeply analytical look at Jackson’s short films, from The Jacksons’ Triumph through You Rock My World, positioning them as the key to understanding his entire creative vision.

Volume One focuses on Michael Jackson’s early films and then turns to an in-depth analysis of the allegations themselves. This includes an examination of historical and cultural factors that may have shaped how the police, press, and public responded, making this section a powerful resource for anyone seeking a more contextualized understanding of that period.

Volume Two then explores the art Michael Jackson created in response to the allegations, work that is often among the most poignant, political, and emotionally raw of his career. Rather than avoiding the controversy, Michael Jackson’s Radical Aesthetic places it at the center of its inquiry, showing how profoundly it shaped both Jackson’s output and public image.

Far too expensive, but perhaps that's because it's an academic publisher – if you want to learn about the content, the interviews with the author might suffice:

the best book ever on MJ he is french la totales ( all the songs,all thé short films)!!

35€ ( 608 pages), Richard Lecocq and François allard.
 
Is it a collectors item?
I'd say my book was a collector's item too if it meant charging 280, lol.

It's already discounted from 350€ !!!!! like whaaaaaat? lol

350? And how can there be a discount already even if the book hasn't been published, yet?
To make it sound like you're getting a really good deal on the price. Amazon are kings of the fake price.

Like, seriously, both of these scams have been exposed for over a century. How do people still not understand when they're being duped?

Amazon??? No, the publishers (Routledge) put out that price and discount:

But if they said the real price was $1280, would you think of it as you saving $1000?

I guess I'm lucky in that in the UK the government have made this nonsense illegal.
