[Hochschild’s] analysis is overdue at a time when questions of policy and legislation and even fact have all but vanished from the public discourse.” —The New York Review of Books “Hochschild moves beyond the truism that less affluent voters who support small government and tax cuts are voting against their own economic interest.” —O Magazine In Strangers in Their Own Land, the renowned sociologist Arlie Hochschild embarks on a thought-provoking journey from her liberal hometown of Berkeley, California, deep into Louisiana bayou country—a stronghold of the conservative right. As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets—among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident—people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children. Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream—and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in “red” America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from “liberal” government intervention abhor the very idea? Reviews "Up close there is a depth to the concerns of Hochschild’s subjects...They are concerned about pollution, and about the social decay that we see most vividly in the opioid epidemic. They are aware...of facts on the ground." —Benjamin Wallace-Wells, The New Yorker "Strangers in Their Own Land is extraordinary for its consistent empathy and the attention it pays to the emotional terrain of politics. It is billed as a book for this moment, but it will endure." —Gabriel Thompson, Newsday [Hochschild’s] connection and kindness to the people she meets is what makes this book so powerful. —Marion Winik, Minneapolis Star Tribune "Hochschild is fascinated by how people make sense of their lives...[She] conveys that she genuinely likes the people she meets, communicating their dignity and values...These attentive, detailed portraits...reveal a gulf between Hochschild’s Strangers in Their Own Land and a new elite." —Jedediah Purdy, The New Republic "The importance of emotion in politics, not just facts and figures, [Hochschild] writes convincingly, is critical to understand...a point politicians of all stripes would be smart to remember." —Felice Belman, The Boston Globe "The anger and hurt of the author’s interviewees is intelligible to all. In today’s political climate, this may be invaluable." —The Economist "Arlie Russell Hochschild’s Strangers in Their Own Land will certainly be among the most timely of books in this moment of seeming near apocalypse...remarkable." —Sean McCann, The Los Angeles Review of Books "Hochschild has gone about her investigation diligently and with an appealing humility." —Karen Olsson, Bookforum "Strangers In Their Own Land is by far the best book by an outsider to the Tea Party I have ever encountered. —Forbes "An important contribution to the understanding of our times… Strangers in Their Own Land describes in vivid detail a world that is often ignored or caricatured by the media and by many liberals." —The Nation “[Hochschild’s] deeply humble approach is refreshing and strengthens her research…. She skillfully invites liberal readers into the lives of Americans whose views they may have never seriously considered. After evaluating her conclusions and meeting her informants in these pages, it’s hard to disagree that empathy is the best solution to stymied political and social discourse." —Publishers Weekly “A well-told chronicle of an ambitious sociological project of significant current importance.” —Kirkus Reviews About the Author Arlie Russell Hochschild is one of the most influential sociologists of her generation.
