Michael Jackson and the Quandary of a Black Identity By Sherrow O Pinder
2021 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1438484798 | PDF | 3 MB
In Michael Jackson and the Quandary of a Black Identity, Sherrow O. Pinder explores the ways in which the late singer's racial identification process problematizes conceptualizations of race and the presentation of blackness that reduces blacks to a bodily mark. Pinder is particularly interested in how Michael Jackson simultaneously performs his racial identity and posits it against strict binary racial definitions, neither black nor white. While Jackson's self-fashioning deconstructs and challenges the corporeal notions of natural bodies and fixed identities, negative readings of the King of Pop fuel epithets such as weird or freak, subjecting him to a form of antagonism that denies the black body its self-determination. Thus, for Jackson, racial identification becomes a deeply ambivalent process, which leads to the fragmentation of his identity into plural identities. Pinder shows how Jackson as a racialized subject is discursively confined to a third space, a liminal space of ambivalence.​
