Exploring the interplay of fate and freewill, this book delves into how literature shapes our lives and influences our writing. It posits that fate transcends mere circumstances of birth, advocating for writing as a means to reclaim agency amid life's challenges. By contrasting factuality with fiction, the author presents a radically empirical perspective on human experience, emphasizing the transformative power of literature in navigating our realities.

Exploring the multifaceted nature of friendship, Michael Jackson weaves together philosophy, biography, and ethnography. 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.

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.

Michael Jackson juxtaposes ethnographic and imaginative writing to explore intergenerational trauma and temporality, showing how genealogy becomes a powerful model for understanding our experience of being in the world.

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.

Jediná autobiografie Michaela Jacksona. Autor vzpomíná na vcelku radostné dětství a začátek své kariéry, kdy vystupoval se svými bratry v amatérských soutěžích pod dohledem přísného otce. Popisuje tvrdou a namáhavou cestu ke slávě a rychlý vzestup na špičku světových žebříčků. Zpochybňuje pověsti o svém výstředním životě a odvážně bourá přísně střežené bariéry mlčení. Své vzpomínky bohatě dokreslil fotografiemi. České vydání knihy v roce 1990 spadalo do doby Jacksonovy největší slávy, doby, která předcházela mnohým skandálům kolem jeho osoby - sňatkům, chorobám, operacím a soudním procesům.
