Join us for a conversation with Arlie Hochschild about her new book, Stolen Pride: Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right. Arlie has spent the last few years talking with blue collar men in Pikesville, Kentucky about their lives, their dreams and their disappointments. The men in her book wonder whether or not their jobs, their region, and their self-worth have simply been lost or—as Donald Trump tells them about the 2020 election—have been “stolen.”
Arlie's first book, Strangers in Their Own Land, helped form the backbone of RUBI's understanding of the rural-urban divide. Robert Reich describes her insights as compassionate, illuminating, and deeply moving...we agree!
