DESCRIPTION
When Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential elections, a bewildered nation
struggled to understand what had happened and what Trump voters were thinking
when they cast their ballots. Renowned sociologist Arlie Hochschild had spent the
preceding five years immersed in the strongly Tea-Party-facing community around
Lake Charles, Louisiana, to produce the book Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger
and Mourning on the American Right—now essential reading to understand what
drives Trump supporters and what forces have led to the nation’s political divide.

PRESENTER
Arlie Russell Hochschild is Professor Emerita of Sociology at the University of
California, Berkeley. The author of nine books, she is one of the most influential
sociologists of her generation, known for her groundbreaking work on the power
of emotion in social interaction.
