Arlie Russell Hochschild is the author of many groundbreaking books, including The Second Shift, The Managed Heart, and The Time Bind as well as Strangers in Their Own Land, which became an instant bestseller and was a finalist for a National Book Award, and Stolen Pride: Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right (both from The New Press). Hochschild is professor emerita of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. She lives in Berkeley with her husband, the writer Adam Hochschild.
Forbes reviews Hochschild's new book: "Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right is by far the best book by an outsider to the Tea Party I have ever encountered…. [I]t makes a wonderful contribution to the national discourse."
Library Journal says, of Strangers in Their Own Land, “Remarkable…. Hochschild gives a rich and vivid picture of the emotional and social life... in the American South.”
