MSF Podcast 34: Diasporic Connections: Ways that Beyonce Constructs the US South as Motherland

Diasporic Connections: Ways that Beyonce Constructs the US South as Motherland On the heels of Beyonce’s 7th Studio album act i RENAISSANCE, I did a LIVE podcast recording for some folks over IG. For this episode, I talk about the ways that she constructs the “US South” as the Black US folks’ “Motherland” through vivid imagery, symbols and powerful language. For this, I talk about Black Pride and Beyonce through a textual/ lyrics analysis of Black Parade. There’s so much Black richness in this song! The Baobab tree that she talks about, which has been related to the tree of life Allusions to Yoruba and Orisha culture I talk about how she’s invoked the planetary energy of Saturn with this most recent project.  There are a lot of gems in this one, go listen to this and my other podcast episodes!
