Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right by Arlie Russell Hochschild
5.0
Read my full thoughts on this book and hundreds more over at Read.Write.Repeat.
A fascinating look at southern conservatives, what drives their political views, and how they are driving the politics of the country.
I loved the book. I think it's fantastic. It's easily the best of its kind that I have read. I think anyone wrestling with American politics right now should read it, needs to read it. I think if we start trying to understand one another's "deep stories" a little better, it would lead to better bipartisan work and more real problems being solved. The book is very readable and it's powerful. I learned so much and also walked away with so much to think about, too. That's a big win for me.
