graventy 's review for:
Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right
by Arlie Russell Hochschild
As a book I found this to be a very interesting investigation into the 'great paradox' of why poor white voters vote against their interests. She paints a portrait of people who believe they are patiently waiting in line for the American Dream, and see themselves constantly passed by people who are being given a step ahead because of affirmative action/skin color/race/etc.
As a political salve, it did nothing to ease my anger and frustration. As much as it does to provide insight, it also showcases people who are all too willing to blindly ignore the obvious in exchange for their perfect vision of less government interference or whatever.
