Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right
Description
The National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestseller that became a
guide and balm for a country struggling to understand the election of Donald
Trump”A generous but disconcerting look at the Tea Party. . . . This is a
smart, respectful and compelling book.” ―Jason DeParle, The New York Times
Book ReviewWhen Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, a bewildered
nation turned to Strangers in Their Own Land to understand what Trump voters
were thinking when they cast their ballots. Arlie Hochschild, one of the most
influential sociologists of her generation, had spent the preceding five years
immersed in the community around Lake Charles, Louisiana, a Tea Party
stronghold. As Jedediah Purdy put it in the New Republic, “Hochschild is
fascinated by how people make sense of their lives. . . . [Her] attentive,
detailed portraits . . . reveal a gulf between Hochchild’s ‘strangers in their
own land’ and a new elite.” Already a favorite common read book in communities
and on campuses across the country and called “humble and important” by David
Brooks and “masterly” by Atul Gawande, Hochschild’s book has been lauded by
Noam Chomsky, New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu, and countless others.The
paperback edition features a new afterword by the author reflecting on the
election of Donald Trump and the other events that have unfolded both in
Louisiana and around the country since the hardcover edition was published,
and also includes a readers’ group guide at the back of the book. Read more
