YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Fatima Bhutto discusses her book, "New Kings of the World", at Politics and Prose.

In groundbreaking work exploring the global mass culture that’s rapidly displacing US exports, Bhutto, a novelist and author of the acclaimed memoir, Songs of Blood and Sword, offers a lively, inside look at Bollywood, Turkish soap operas, and the South Korean music sensation known as K-Pop. Showing how these have created a new and easily consumed global popular culture challenging American "soft power", Bhutto profiles Shah Rukh Khan, the world’s most popular movie star; visits the set of Turkey's biggest TV show, watched by 200 million people in 43 countries; and traces how “Gangnam Style” became the first YouTube video to hit one billion views.
