      Die zweite Buchveröffentlichung des erfolgreichen Autors Michael Jackson ist ein äußerst schöner, provokant persönlicher Blick auf die Welt um uns und das Universum in jedem von uns. Ob seine Prosa und Poesie sich mit Kreativität, den Kindern der Welt oder den Schwierigkeiten von Elefanten beschäftigt, seine Einsichten und fürsorgliche Teilnahme verdeutlichen, dass Vertrauen, Liebe und Glaube für Michael Jackson die Eckpfeiler eines gut gelebten Lebens sind. Manche Menschen wissen nicht, wie sie die Welt verbessern können, während andere Träume haben, die so mächtig sind, dass sie Visionen enthalten, die jeden von uns berühren. Tanzen als Traum wurde von Michael Jackson, einem Menschen mit Vision, geschrieben.

      Behandelt die Karriere einer Musiklegende, die als Kinderstar begann und mit seinen mitreißenden Gesangseinlagen die Jackson 5 ins Rampenlicht katapultierte. Michael Jackson hatte Charisma. Er war ein flamboyanter, strahlender Performer, der die Bühne beherrschte. Sein Tod läutete das Ende eines turbulenten Lebens ein, beendete jedoch nicht seine Herrschaft als King of Pop. Er lebt weiter durch sein außergewöhnliches Werk, das sicherstellt, dass sein königlicher Status erhalten bleibt.

      Der Superstar in SEINEN Worten - Michael Jacksons einzige und einzigartige Autobiografie „Ich habe mir immer gewünscht, Geschichten erzählen zu können, Geschichten, die aus meiner Seele kommen. Ich würde am liebsten an einem Feuer sitzen und Geschichten erzählen – meine Zuhörer dazu bringen, Bilder zu sehen, zu weinen und zu lachen, sie gefühlsmäßig irgendwohin zu entführen mit den so täuschend einfach wirkenden Mitteln der Sprache. Keine Kostüme, kein Make-up, nichts, nur du und deine Stimme ...“ Michael Jackson in Moonwalk. Am 25. Juni 2009 steht die Welt kurz still. Michael Jackson ist tot. „Moonwalk“ nimmt uns noch einmal mit zurück in sein Leben: von den Anfängen der „Jackson Five“ bis zu seinen größten Hits als Megastar. Ausführlich erzählt Michael Jackson von den Jahren in seiner Heimatstadt Gary, dem Verhältnis zu seiner Familie und späteren Freunden wie Diana Ross oder Paul McCartney. Erstaunlich offen gewährt er Einblicke in seine Arbeitsweise und spricht erstmals auch über die Schattenseiten seines Erfolges. Über die Angst, zu scheitern, die rufschädigenden Gerüchte und seine fast unerträgliche Einsamkeit. Mit „Moonwalk” offenbart Michael Jackson den Menschen hinter dem Star – und trifft damit mitten ins Herz. Der Mensch hinter dem Megastar – außergewöhnlich offen und sehr berührend.

    • Politics of Storytelling

      Hannah Arendt argued that the “political” is best understood as a power relation between private and public realms, and that storytelling is a vital bridge between these realms—a site where individualized passions and shared perspectives are contested and interwoven. Jackson explores and expands Arendt’s ideas through a cross-cultural analysis of storytelling that includes Kuranko stories from Sierra Leone, Aboriginal stories of the stolen generation, stories recounted before the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and stories of refugees, renegades, and war veterans. Focusing on the violent and volatile conditions under which stories are and are not told, and exploring the various ways in which narrative reworkings of reality enable people to symbolically alter subject-object relations, Jackson shows how storytelling may restore existential viability to the intersubjective fields of self and other, self and state, self and situation.

      Four years ago, author Michael Jackson was diagnosed with and cured of cancer. The treatment and aftermath of something no larger than the size of an egg would change his life forever. Jackson had spent so much time on his own pleasures that he never really focused on what God wanted him to be. Sometimes when we ignore God, He allows things to happen to get our attention. For the author, being diagnosed with cancer was his wake-up call. In Beyond The Battle, Jackson gives you a look at his lifestyle before and after he allowed God to take control of his life. He shares how the Lord used a hopeless situation and turned it into a blessing. When life gives you lemons, God can turn them into eternal peace and joy, but only if one is open to what God is doing to see where He wants to take you. The author hopes to inspire others who are going through difficult situations to trust in the heavenly father and find beauty in their life.

    • Coincidences

      Most people have a story to tell about a remarkable coincidence that in some instances changed the course of their lives. These uncanny occurrences have been variously interpreted as evidence of divine influence, fate, or the collective unconscious. Less common are explanations that explore the social situations and personal preoccupations of the individuals who place the most weight on coincidences. Drawing on a variety of coincidence stories, renowned anthropologist Michael Jackson builds a case for seeing them as allegories of separation and loss—revealing the hope of repairing sundered lives, reconnecting estranged friends, reuniting distant kin, closing the gap between people and their gods, and achieving a sense of emotional and social connectedness with others in a fragmented world.

He begins with classical perspectives from Aristotle and Montaigne, then delves into the political and personal dimensions of friendship through the works of Hannah Arendt and the stories of Kuranko storyteller Keti Ferenke Koroma. Jackson reflects on various forms of friendship, including those from childhood and with animals, while addressing the complexities faced by anthropologists in balancing egalitarian ideals with inherent power dynamics in fieldwork.

      Michael Jackson's response to our beleaguered age is to ask what forms of speech and action are called for in 'dark times'. He argues that experiences that fall outside the concepts and categories we habitually deploy in rendering life manageable and intelligible have both critical and redemptive power.
