Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2020 "An exemplary work of investigative journalism." —Parul Sehgal, The New York Times The murder of a Pakistani social media star exposes a culture divided between accelerating modernity and imposed traditional values—and the tragedy of those caught in the middle. In 2016, Pakistan’s first social media celebrity, Qandeel Baloch, was murdered in a suspected honor killing. Her death quickly became a media sensation. It was both devastatingly routine and breathtakingly brutal, and in a new media landscape, it couldn’t be ignored. Qandeel had courted attention and outrage with a talent for self-promotion that earned her comparisons to Kim Kardashian—and made her the constant victim of harassment and death threats. Social media and reality television exist uneasily alongside honor killings and forced marriages in a rapidly, if unevenly, modernizing Pakistan, and Qandeel Baloch’s story became emblematic of the cultural divide. In this definitive and up-to-date account, Sanam Maher reconstructs the story of Qandeel’s life and explores the depth and range of her legacy from her impoverished hometown rankled by her infamy, to the aspiring fashion models who follow her footsteps, to the Internet activists resisting the same vicious online misogyny she faced. Maher depicts a society at a crossroads, where women serve as an easy scapegoat for its anxieties and dislocations, and teases apart the intrigue and myth-making of the Qandeel Baloch story to restore the humanity of the woman at its center.

Book excerpt: Fouzia Azeem, also known as the Pakistani model, actress, and singer Qandeel Baloch, first auditioned for Pakistan Idol in 2013. A video clip of her audition immediately went viral via the Internet. She became the first Pakistani woman to also gain social media celebrity status while posting selfie photographs and videos to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube that were considered both controversial and risqué by the traditional and conservative Pakistani social standards. Her brother took her life in July 2016, claiming it was an honor killing--punishment for the 'shame' her online behavior brought to the entire family. A huge media frenzy followed, fast-tracking the Anti-Honor Killings Law bill in The Parliament of Pakistan yet further dividing her family concerning Qandeel's death.
