Beyoncé and the power of pop culture pedagogy

Summary

"In 2010--long before the release of Lemonade--Professor Allred created the university course 'Politicizing Beyoncé' to both wide acclaim and controversy. He outlines his pedagogical philosophy in Ain't I a diva?, exploring the process of teaching Beyoncé and what it means to use a superstar to blow up the canon. Examining the entertainer's career alongside the work of Black feminist thinkers, Allred shows how pop culture is so much more than a guilty pleasure--it's an access point for education, entertainment, critical inquiry, and politics. Includes a foreword by Black feminist educator, poet, and activist Cheryl Clarke"--Back cover
