Dangerous | Music | MusicDDC classification: 782.4'2166'092 Summary: 'Dangerous' is Michael Jackson's coming of age album. It offers Jackson on a threshold, at long last embracing adulthood - politically questioning, sexually charged - yet unable to convince a skeptical public who had, by this time, been wholly indoctrinated by a vicious media. Even though the record sold well, few understood or were willing to accept the depth and breadth of Jackson's vision; and then before it could be fully grasped, it was eclipsed by a shifting pop music landscape and personal scandal - the latter perhaps linked to his assertive new politics. This book tries to cut through the din of dominant narratives about Jackson, taking up the mature, nuanced artistic statement he offered on 'Dangerous' in all its complexity.
