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?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20200323. 648 7 $a 2000-2099. 650 7 $a Political psychology. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Essays. 650 $a Liberalism $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 $a Conservatism $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / General. 650 7 $a Liberalism. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Conservatism & Liberalism. 650 7 $a Conservatism. 650 $a Political psychology. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / National. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Elections. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Reference. 651 7 $a United States. 655 7 $a History. 856 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=636&titleID=2679237 $3 null 941 $a 1 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20201007083639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=369E22A2089E11EBA1C2147F38ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
