Book Synopsis

This book examines three years of Beyoncé's career as a pop mega star using critical race, feminist and performance studies methodologies.

The book explores how the careful choreography of Beyoncé's image, voice and public persona, coupled with her intelligent use of audio and visual mediums, makes her one of the most influential entertainers of the 21st century. Keleta-Mae proposes that 2013 to 2016 was a pivotal period in Beyoncé's career and looks at three artistic projects that she created during that time: her self-titled debut visual album Beyoncé, her video and live performance of Formation, and her second visual album Lemonade.
