CBH Talk | Arlie Russell Hochschild and Matthew Desmond Discuss “Stolen Pride: Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right”
In Stolen Pride, National Book Award finalist and bestselling author Arlie Russell Hochschild travels to Appalachia where she focuses her sharp analytical eye on a group that confounds many Americans seeking to understand how one can simultaneously believe in democracy and support Donald Trump – blue collar men.
As Hochschild explains, for all the attempts to reconcile the seeming contradiction between patriotism and Trumpism, we’ve ignored an essential element: what economic and cultural loss can do to pride.
Stolen Pride explores the nonrational dimensions of political identity and mobilization. Join Hochschild in conversation with MacArthur-winner and Evicted author Matthew Desmond, as they unpack the dynamics of pride, shame, and blame that foment in so many Americans who fail to achieve the American Dream.
Participants
Arlie Russell Hochschild is the author of many groundbreaking books, including The Second Shift, The Managed Heart, and The Time Bind as well as Strangers in Their Own Land, which became an instant bestseller and was a finalist for a National Book Award, and Stolen Pride: Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right (both from The New Press). Hochschild is professor emerita of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. She lives in Berkeley with her husband, the writer Adam Hochschild.
Matthew Desmond is a MacArthur “Genius” and Princeton sociologist. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller and 2017 Pulitzer Prize winner Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City and Poverty, by America, which transformed our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation. His next book, the instant #1 bestseller Poverty, by America, reimagines the debate on poverty and makes a new and bracing argument about why it persists in America: because the rest of us benefit from it. Desmond is the Maurice P. During Professor of Sociology, and the founder and principal investigator of The Eviction Lab (www.evictionlab.org) at Princeton University. In 2018, The Eviction Lab published the first-ever national dataset of evictions in America, collecting millions of data points going back to 2000. Desmond is a New York Times Magazine contributing writer, and his writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, the New Yorker and The Chicago Tribune.
