This book is ideal for readers interested in American politics, sociology, and cultural understanding, especially those seeking insight into divisions within the United States.
In Strangers in Their Own Land Strangers in Their Own Land feels like to live in "red" America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from "liberal" government intervention abhor the very idea?

Description
In Strangers in Their Own Land, the renowned sociologist Arlie Hochschild embarks on a thought-provoking journey from her liberal hometown of Berkeley, California, deep into Louisiana bayou country — a stronghold of the conservative right.
As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets. These are people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children.
