What Drives People Into the Arms of Trump | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Arlie Russel Hochschild, a sociology professor emerita at UC Berkeley and author of The Second Shift and The Outsourced Self, will discuss her most recent book, Strangers in Their Own Land; Anger and Mourning on the American Right.

Hochschild’s book explores what she calls their “deep story” and behind it, their fear of losing a familiar world, their dread of economic decline, and suspicion of government betrayal. Most of all, they understand themselves, she observes, as a forgotten and demeaned “minority group.” After her presentation, there will be time for questions and discussion.
