‘Cause I Slay: A Beyoncé Timeline for February 2016

For some Beyoncé is a savior who is finding a political voice. For other she is an anti-white Benedict Arnold. And still to others she is nothing more than a capitalist appropriator or hyper-sexualized stereotype. I have no interest in debating or adding to the proclamations and indictments. Instead, I want to read between the lines of her performances and flesh out a different set of politics I think are at play.
