Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right by Arlie Russell Hochschild
5.0
I heard about this book through Bill Gates top 5 of 2017.
A fantastic book. Worth the read just for the middle chapter, "The Deep Story". The author does an incredible job articulating not the reasons for the political divide and the difference in logic, but the WHY behind how people feel.
Surprisingly relevant for me as a Canadian living in the growing gap of left and right, even in Ontario. While I may not agree with the outcome, this book helps me understand the honour, social order, and values that around me hold.
