Arlie Hochschild, one of the most influential sociologists of her generation, had spent the preceding five years immersed in the community around Lake Charles, Louisiana, a Tea Party stronghold.

[Her] attentive, detailed portraits . . . reveal a gulf between Hochchild’s ‘strangers in their own land’ and a new elite.” Already a favorite common read book in communities and on campuses across the country and called “humble and important” by David Brooks, Hochschild’s book has been lauded by Noam Chomsky, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, and countless others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe paperback edition will feature a new introduction by the author reflecting on the election of Donald Trump and the other events that have unfolded both in Louisiana and around the country since the hardcover edition was published, and will also include a readers’ group guide in the back of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036877275376,"sku":"9781620973493","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781620973493_p0.jpg?v=1772500160","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781620973493","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
