About this product
Product Information
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 Review When 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.

Reviews
Praise for Arlie Hochschild''s Strangers in Their Own Land: "A well-told chronicle of an ambitious sociological project of significant current importance." -- Kirkus Reviews "In her attempt to climb over the ''empathy wall' and truly understand the emotional lives of her political adversaries, Arlie Hochschild gives us a vital roadmap to bridging the deep divides in our political landscape and renewing the promise of American democracy. A must-read for any political American who isn't ready to give up just yet." --Joan Blades, co-founder of LivingRoomConversations.org, MomsRising.org, and MoveOn.org "If the great political question of our time can be summarized in the two words, ''Donald Trump,' the answer is to be found in Arlie Russell Hochschild's brilliant new book, Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right . Hochschild, an eminent sociologist with a novelist's storytelling skill, has crafted an absorbing tale full of richly drawn, complicated characters who come bearing their own fascinating histories. Together, in Hochschild's authoritative hands, they offer a compelling and lucid portrait of what had seemed a bewildering political moment. A powerful, imaginative, necessary book, arriving not a moment too soon." --Mark Danner, author of Spiral: Trapped in the Forever War "Arlie Russell Hochschild's work has never been more timely or more necessary, from the resurgence of interest in emotional labor to this deep, empathetic dive into the heart of the Right. Strangers in Their Own Land does what few dare to do--it takes seriously the role of feelings in politics." --Sarah Jaffe, author of Necessary Trouble: Americans in Revolt "The celebrated sociologist Arlie Hochschild left Berkeley and went far outside her comfort zone to live among and report on Tea Party members in Louisiana over five years. With the clear-headed empathy she is famous for, she explored the central paradox of these political activists in the heart of ''cancer alley': they understand that the chemical and oil companies have destroyed their environment and sometimes their lives, but they remain ardent defenders of free market capitalism. Hochschild spent many hours--at church services, picnics and kitchen tables--probing the ways they struggle to reconcile their conflicting interests and loyalties. There could not be a more important topic in current American politics, nor a better person to dissect it. Every page--every story and individual--is fascinating, and the emerging analysis is revelatory." --Barbara Ehrenreich "Arlie Hochschild journeys into a far different world than her liberal academic enclave of Berkeley, into the heartland of the nation's political right, in order to understand how the conservative white working class sees America. With compassion and empathy, she discovers the narrative that gives meaning and expression to their lives-and which explains their political convictions, along with much else. Anyone who wants to understand modern America should read this captivating book." --Robert B. Reich, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley Praise for Arlie Hochschild''s The Outsourced Self: "Incisive, provocative, and often downright entertaining." -- Publishers Weekly "A social thinker of great stature and scope to tackle this question, and a writer of immense charm...Arlie Hochschild is both, and this may be her best book ever." --Barbara Ehrenreich Praise for Arlie Hochschild''s The Time Bind : "Truly subversive." -- The New York Times Book Review "Important, provocative, groundbreaking." -- Newsweek "Beautifully written, poignant." -- The Wall Street Journal, Praise for Arlie Hochschild's The Outsourced Self: "Incisive, provocative, and often downright entertaining." -- Publishers Weekly "A social thinker of great stature and scope to tackle this question, and a writer of immense charm...Arlie Hochschild is both, and this may be her best book ever." --Barbara Ehrenreich Praise for Arlie Hochschild's The Time Bind : "Truly subversive." -- The New York Times Book Review "Important, provocative, groundbreaking." -- Newsweek Praise for Arlie Hochschild's The Second Shift : "The rhetoric of the "second shift" is one of the cornerstones of radical feminist transformation of the world." -- The Feminist Wire, Praise for Arlie Hochschild's The Outsourced Self: "Incisive, provocative, and often downright entertaining." -- Publishers Weekly "A social thinker of great stature and scope to tackle this question, and a writer of immense charm...Arlie Hochschild is both, and this may be her best book ever." --Barbara Ehrenreich Praise for Arlie Hochschild's The Time Bind : "Truly subversive." -- The New York Times Book Review "Important, provocative, groundbreaking." -- Newsweek "Beautifully written, poignant." -- The Wall Street Journal
