StrangersinTheirOwnLand

Arlie Hochschild is a renowned scholar who has made significant contributions to the fields of domestic labor, emotional labor, and the commodification of private life. She has written several influential books including The Second Shift, The Managed Heart, Time Bind, The Commercialization of Intimate Life, and The Outsourced Self.

In her latest book, Strangers in Their Own Land, Hochschild delves into the emotional foundations of right wing politics in Louisiana. Through her study of divergent responses to environmental pollution - one of the most pressing issues facing the region - she explores the notion of "feeling rules" and their role in shaping the political landscape. Hochschild conducted fieldwork between 2011 and 2016, and based on her research, she advances the "deep story" of supporters of the American right. She argues that the changing moral qualifications for the American Dream have turned them into strangers in their own land, leading to feelings of fear, resentment, displacement, and dismissal by those who are perceived to be cutting in line.
