Studying Michael Jackson’s ‘Dangerous’: Rediscovering the ‘Dangerous’ Dream

By Elizabeth Amisu

Dear Friend,

Do you remember the time, when the Dangerous album was released? Perhaps you can, maybe you can’t. Either way, let me set the scene for you. It was the birth of the 1990s: social media platforms had not yet been invented and everyone was still watching VHS tapes. Millions of viewers sat around their television sets all over the world to watch the premiere of a new Michael Jackson short film called Black or White, and it blew them all away.
