Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right ARLIE HOCHSCHILD
Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right
Tuesday, January 10 at 7 PM

Meet National Book Award Finalist and sociologist Arlie Hochschild, who will share her exploration of our national political and cultural divides by immersing herself in the anti-government tea party culture so foreign to her own beliefs. She traveled from her liberal hometown of Berkeley, California, deep into Louisiana bayou country--a stronghold of the conservative right.

"Satisfying. [Hochschild’s] analysis is overdue at a time when questions of policy and legislation and even fact have all but vanished from the public discourse."- The New York Review of Books

Boilard’s stories, set in and around a string of busted Massachusetts mill towns during the cocaine-fueled 1980s, "…have the brevity, sharp focus, and corrosive anger of good punk rock." - Kirkus Reviews
