Trump's America: Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana

Berkeley sociologist crosses over to Trump's America.  (San Francisco Chronicle, 5/21/2017)

[Arlie] Hochschild left her liberal bubble — where she lives with her husband, author and Mother Jones magazine co-founder Adam Hochschild, and where, until recently, she taught sociology at UC Berkeley — to spend five years on and off in the ardently right-wing Louisiana bayou country, where God, guns and big oil rule. “I had a keen interest in how life feels to people on the right — that is, in the emotion that underlies politics,” she writes. “To understand their emotions, I had to imagine myself in their shoes.”
