Niet altijd even makkelijk om te lezen. Deels ivm de niet zo goede en waarschijnlijk te snelle vertaling, deels omdat ik achtergrondkennis mis om de politieke en sociale situatie in het zuiden van de Verenigde Staten goed te begrijpen. Evengoed boeit mij de vraag hoe het kan dat inwoners uit de armste staten in de VS juist op Trump hebben gestemd. En eigenlijk ook waarom uberhaupt iemand op die man zou stemmen.

Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream - and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it 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?… (meer)
