Review - 'Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right' by Arlie Russell Hochschild


A timely and relevant book in the era of Trump, it has gone further than any other source in helping me understand the motivations and the feelings of the conservative white working class. The author presents their viewpoint with empathy and kindness, and tries to work through the paradox of why it appears to others as if they are voting against their self-interest. I found this book to be insightful and enlightening, and recommend it as essential for anyone wanting to understand and engage in today's political climate.

Readaroo Rating: 5 stars!
