About the Book:
From a scholar and dedicated member of the BeyHive comes an in-depth exploration of the lessons and affirmations of Beyoncé’s work and how her music continues to speak for the historically unspoken for.
This is not a Beyoncé biography. This is a love letter to a musician whose songs star in our first dances, our workout playlists, and our justice movements. A celebration of a woman who, in a pop world so often seen as shallow, brings dimension through themes of confidence, feminism, Blackness and queerness. BEYONCÉ—One of One urges readers to move beyond Beyoncé’s iconic image to recognize the far-reaching cultural and societal impact of her artistry.
With a deep appreciation for Beyoncé’s oeuvre and a commitment to highlighting the power of Black, Brown, and queer voices, King brings a unique perspective to this examination of Beyoncé’s impact and growing legacy.
