The National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestseller that became a guide and balm for a country struggling to understand the election of Donald Trump "A generous but disconcerting look at the Tea Party. . . . This is a smart, respectful and compelling book." —Jason DeParle, The New York Times Book Review When Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, a bewildered nation turned to Strangers in Their Own Land to understand what Trump voters were thinking when they cast their ballots. Arlie Hochschild, one of the most influential sociologists of her generation, had spent the preceding five years immersed in the community around Lake Charles, Louisiana, a Tea Party stronghold. As Jedediah Purdy put it in the New Republic, “Hochschild is fascinated by how people make sense of their lives. . . . [Her] attentive, detailed portraits . . . reveal a gulf between Hochchild’s ‘strangers in their own land’ and a new elite.” Already a favorite common read book in communities and on campuses across the country and called “humble and important” by David Brooks and “masterly” by Atul Gawande, Hochschild’s book has been lauded by Noam Chomsky, New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu, and countless others. The paperback edition features a new afterword by the author reflecting on the election of Donald Trump and the other events that have unfolded both in Louisiana and around the country since the hardcover edition was published, and also includes a readers’ group guide at the back of the book.

El 8 de noviembre de 2016, Estados Unidos se despertó en la UVI. Un multimillonario histriónico había ganado las elecciones con un mensaje machista, antiinmigrante, antielitista y nacionalista. ¿En qué momento se jodió el país? En los años 80 Ronald Reagan y Margaret Thatcher habían levantado un modelo de plácido entendimiento entre mercados y democracias que hizo crack en 2008. Entonces surgieron chispazos rupturistas como Occupy Wall Street. Hoy asistimos al rearme de las élites, y vemos cómo Trump es solo uno de los indicios de un fenómeno global: la extrema derecha crece y afloran mandatarios como Bolsonaro, Salvini u Orban. Frente a este panorama, los impulsores de El síntoma Trump se lanzaron a interrogar a los economistas, intelectuales, historiadores y activistas más influyentes de Estados Unidos para romper los clichés sobre el magnate. El resultado son dieciséis entrevistas organizadas en tres partes: primero, un análisis del sistema que ha favorecido al fenómeno Trump, hasta llegar a las entrañas del Partido Republicano; un segundo bloque que aborda los conflictos atascados históricamente en la sociedad estadounidense, como la raza, la clase, la inmigración o el feminismo; y un tercero que se arriesga con alternativas para el futuro, ya sea a partir del populismo democrático de Bernie Sanders o de los últimos movimientos emancipadores.
