In Beyoncé in Formation, Tinsley now takes her rich observations beyond the classroom, using the blockbuster album and video Lemonade as a soundtrack for vital new-millennium narratives. Woven with candid observations about her life as a feminist scholar of African studies and a cisgender femme married to a trans spouse, Tinsley?s ?Femme-onade? mixtape explores myriad facets of black women?s sexuality and gender. Turning to Beyoncé?s ?Don?t Hurt Yourself,? Tinsley assesses black feminist critiques of marriage and then considers the models of motherhood offered in ?Daddy Lessons,? interspersing these passages with memories from Tinsley?s multiracial family history. Her chapters on nontraditional bonds culminate in a discussion of contemporary LGBT politics through the lens of the internet-breaking video ?Formation,? underscoring why Beyoncé?s black femme-inism isn?t only for ciswomen. From pleasure politics and the struggle for black women?s reproductive justice to the subtext of blues and country music traditions, the landscape in this tour is populated by activists and artists (including Loretta Lynn) and infused with vibrant interpretations of Queen Bey?s provocative, peerless imagery and lyrics. In the tradition of Roxanne Gay?s Bad Feminist and Jill Lepore?s best-selling cultural histories, Beyoncé in Formation is the work of a daring intellectual who is poised to spark a new conversation about freedom and identity in America. 606 $aAfrican American women singers 606 $aAfrican American feminists 606 $aFeminism and music 615 0$aAfrican American women singers. 615 0$aAfrican American feminists. 615 0$aFeminism and music. 676 $a782.42164092 700 $aTinsley$b Omise'eke Natasha$f1971-$01544540 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793135803321 996 $aBeyonce? in formation$93798846 997 $aUNINA
