Michael Jackson and the Blackface MaskAuthor :
Paperback
Published : Friday 9 September 2016
Description
Harriet Manning argues that the nineteenth-century blackface minstrelsys legacy is nowhere more evident than with Michael Jackson, in whom minstrelsys gestures and tropes are embedded. The author further contends that minstrelsys assumptions and uses have been fundamental to the troubles and controversies with which Jackson was beset. Blackface minstrelsy continues to permeate contemporary popular music and its audience. The body of contradiction behind the blackface mask provides an effective approach to try to understand Jackson, a cultural figure about whom more questions than answers have been generated.
