Praise for Stolen Pride:

"Reflecting on pride and how communities misconstrue or misdirect blame, Hochschild seeks to explain the growth of Trumpism and white nationalism while also opening a window on a brokenhearted community"—Alta Journal

"An insightful, troubling look at political resentments in the forgotten heartland." —Kirkus Reviews

"A piercing . . . impressive and nuanced assessment of a critical factor in American politics." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"What a superb book! If progressives are ever to regain the trust of downwardly mobile white voters powerfully drawn to Trump and the far right, we need to listen deeply to Arlie Hochschild." —Robert Kuttner, co-editor of the American Prospect and author of Going Big

"Arlie Russell Hochschild’s Stolen Pride is a masterpiece of epic proportions. Her account of a small, struggling Appalachian community’s response to a parade of out-of-state white nationalists provides a glimmer of hope for our fragile democracy, even in the face of political polarization, economic inequality, racism, and the nonrational, emotional dimensions of political identity and mobilization. My advice to everyone is: read this book." —Shaunna L. Scott, associate professor emerita of sociology, University of Kentucky, and former president of the Appalachian Studies Association

"In Stolen Pride, Arlie Russell Hochschild continues her cutting-edge research into forgotten Americans, people who desperately need help but cling to the myth that anyone can make it in America through hard work. Hochschild’s insights are compassionate, illuminating, and deeply moving." —Robert B. Reich, former secretary of labor and professor emeritus, University of California, Berkeley

"In Stolen Pride, the inimitable Arlie Russell Hochschild once again sheds light on an often-overlooked segment of Americans, providing a deeply human exploration of the rituals and emotions that sustain a proud region in precarious times." —Jennifer Silva, author of We’re Still Here: Pain and Politics in the Heart of America

"As with Hochschild’s classic Strangers in Their Own Land, Stolen Pride has a truth and intimacy that delivers to the grateful reader what is rare in today’s political studies: true human understanding. Stolen Pride is a superb book, and in these times, an essential read." —Mark Danner, author of Stripping Bare the Body and Spiral: Trapped in the Forever War

"Arlie Hochschild reveals what liberals miss—that the moral emotions of pride and shame animate the resentment that roils our politics. This is the best book yet on the moral and political psychology of the new right, a masterclass in the art of listening across our cultural and political divides." —Michael J. Sandel, author of The Tyranny of Merit: Can We Find the Common Good?
