Strangers in their own land : anger and mourning on the American right / Arlie Russell Hochschild. - New York: New Press, 2016 - xii, 351 pages : illustration ; 25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 317-338) and index.

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.
