“Through Antonia’s stunning retelling of the formidable Beyoncé’s career, we are reminded of the person behind the artistry. As Beyoncé Knowles continues to forge a legacy unlike any our generation has seen for a Black woman, the precision, wit, and love in Antonia’s delivery render her immortal.”
—Kelechi Okafor, author of Edge of Here
“As beautifully intimate as it is critically incisive, Antonia Jade King’s Beyoncé—One of One is a sharp, delightful, and altogether exhaustive exploration of one of the greatest, most impactful and innovative pop musicians of all time. Part moving memoir and part deft cultural study, One of One is stacked with Beyoncé pop culture highlights, turning points, and watershed moments that, taken together, amount to modern pop music history. This is the story of popular music culture with one change-making Black feminist icon at its center. With warmth and dynamism, King reveals how, as a result of Beyoncé’s dazzling artistry, both she and the world have been changed for good.”
—Daphne A. Brooks, author of Liner Notes for the Revolution: The Intellectual Life of Black Feminist Sound
