Arlie Hochschild is best known for her contributions to the domestic division of labor (The Second Shift), emotional labor (The Managed Heart), the rationalization of the home (Time Bind), the commodification of private life (The Commercialization of Intimate Life, The Outsourced Self). In her latest book, Strangers in Their Own Land, Hochschild takes her notion of “feeling rules” to Louisiana, exploring the emotional foundations of right wing politics (The Tea Party and support for Donald Trump) by studying divergent responses to one of the most pressing issues facing the region – environmental pollution. On the basis of her fieldwork, conducted between 2011 and 2016, Hochschild advances the “deep story” of supporters of the American right: “…the shifting moral qualifications for the American Dream had turned them into strangers in their own land, afraid, resentful, displaced, and dismissed by the very people who were, they felt, cutting in line.”

作者的态度是我不同意中下层白人右派的政治立场/看法，但我能理解为什么这些人会持这些立场。 作者认为这个阶层面临着paradox，比如路易斯安那中下层饱受环境问题困扰，但却支持共和党减少政府在环境议题方面的介入。原由是这些人并不相信政府，他们认为民主党的一系列政策只是...  

The refreshing perspective from this book is her “deep story” narrative that tries to explain the national divide in terms of feelings. As someone who has greatly benefited from the “elite” circle, this book offers individual and human narratives from t...

用户评价

2018.11.17-2019.2.4 sincere inquiry and brave exploration of the other side of this divided nation. An elegant portrait of the often overlooked, painted with a broad brush, white people in the South. Empathy and compassion is essential but is probably not the solution to the issue.

结尾处作者给左派和茶党的朋友们分别写了一封信：给前者的很短，给后者的很长。佩服作者为跨越“共情之墙”（empathy wall）所作的尝试，更同意她所采用的批判民族志的研究方法。只是第一封信无论如何都应该更长一点：左派不仅要理解，更要行动。到了将分配正义放回政治议程的时候了。

和作者一样，我知道自己生活在一个 bubble 里面，我想要尝试理解我的 bubble 外面的人的世界观。

茶党信仰者的三项共通点：宗教信仰、憎恶税收、荣誉缺失。认为路易斯安那的石油带来了工作、金钱、更好的生活、美国梦。认为华盛顿和联邦政府的民主党政客无非是腐败无能的。左翼媒体孤立右倾人群和文化，右翼媒体在制造焦虑（日后要多读读Fox）。宗教社群变成了道德世界的核心。Stoicism主义者。因看到少数群体“插队”(cut in line)而感到背叛，被catcalls称作crazy redneck/white trash而愤怒。经济、文化、情感、政治、人口构成等方面，认为自己成为了这片土地的陌生人。KY是对的，作者太居高临下了，并没有走出所谓的政治泡沫。Trump is an emotional figure, a sign of collective effervescence. Chris

人物描写非常细腻。文笔也成熟。Hochschild在很多场合好像都提到过父亲是外交官所以对她看世界的方式有影响。能看出来她在本书里下功夫和人打交道的痕迹，很厉害。左右对立两边大家都清楚，但真正迈出第一步去了解对方的少之又少。只是迈出去之后怎么办还不是很清楚。
