The Political Critique Publishing House and the Museum of Modern Art invite you to a meeting with Arlie Russel Hochschild and the premiere of her latest book "Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right." The meeting with the American sociologist will be hosted by journalist and philosopher Katarzyna Kasia. 📅 DATE: September 16 ⏰ TIME: 6:00 PM 📍 ADDRESS: Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Marszałkowska 103, Warsaw The author of "Strangers in Their Own Land" once again provides insight into the reasons behind the growing success of conservative politicians. She talks to people from one of the poorest regions and electoral districts, often unasked and overlooked in political discussions. Through years of conversations and research, Hochschild uncovers the "pride paradox"—how the belief in deserving success through hard work clashes with the realities of industrial decline, unemployment, and the opioid crisis. "If we want to understand voters who place their hopes in the far-right—whether in the United States or Poland—we must be willing to listen to them. In "Strangers in Their Own Land," Arlie Russell Hochschild once again demonstrates her absolute ear for this. Full of empathy and deep curiosity, rejecting prejudices and preconceived notions, shedding entirely new light on how the emotional sphere shapes political choices. "Strangers in Their Own Land" is an outstanding antidote to tribalism." - Miłosz Wiatrowski - Bujacz The meeting will be held in English, translated into Polish Sign Language (PJM). Simultaneous translation will be available for those interested. The event will be streamed on the Political Critique Facebook page. You can purchase the author's latest book at the MSN bookstore, with the opportunity to get an autograph! More about the book here: https://wydawnictwo.krytykapolityczna.pl/skradziona-duma
