STRANGERS IN THEIR OWN LAND - ARLIE RUSSELL HOC...

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.
