Making headlines when it was launched in 2015, Omise’eke
Tinsley’s undergraduate course “Beyoncé Feminism, Rihanna
Womanism” has inspired students from all walks of life. 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.
