Jonathan Emmesedi<p>I finished this book earlier today.</p><p>I'd recommend it as a way into the minds, and, more importantly, the hearts of a significant slice of Trump voters.</p><p>Arlie Russell Hochschild deserves credit for solid sociological field work. Rather than just dropping in for a week, she spent time really getting to know a corner of Appalachia, immersing herself in the Pikesville community and carrying out more than eighty interviews. At times I found the book a tough read, because Hochshild is exploring senses of loss and hurt amongst people some of whom I found difficult to sympathize with. That difficulty on the part of people like me is, of course, actually part of the larger story.</p><p>Stolen Pride | The New Press</p><p><a href="https://thenewpress.com/books/stolen-pride" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thenewpress.com/books/stolen-p</span><span class="invisible">ride</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/USCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USCulture</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/StolenPride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StolenPride</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ArlieRussellHochschild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArlieRussellHochschild</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sociology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CommunityStudy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityStudy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kentucky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kentucky</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Appalachia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Appalachia</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DonaldTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DonaldTrump</span></a></p>
