A woman like her : the story behind the honor killing of a social media star / Sanam Maher. by Maher, Sanam, author. Brooklyn, NY : Melville House, [2020] Subjects Baloch, Qandeel, 1990-2016.   Internet personalities -- Pakistan -- Biography.   Honor killings -- Pakistan.   Pakistan -- Social life and customs -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781612198408 (hardcover) : 1612198406 (hardcover) : Description:  xix, 235 pages ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "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 deftly reported and artfully told 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"--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 302.23092 Baloch Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.23092 Baloch Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 133.9239 Balock Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.23092 Baloch Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.23092 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
