The Jackson 5: The Forgotten Wave
Motown, Beatlemania, and the Rise of Jacksonmania
The Jackson 5: The Forgotten Wave — Motown, Beatlemania, and the Rise of Jacksonmania explores how the Jackson 5 generated a level of hysteria once compared to Beatlemania, only for the phenomenon of Jacksonmania to later be overshadowed and largely forgotten beneath Michael Jackson’s massive solo success during the Thriller era.
Blending music history, cultural commentary, television history, and generational memory, the project is aimed at readers interested in Motown, twentieth-century popular culture, Black crossover entertainment history, Beatlemania studies, and the evolution of modern celebrity culture.
