As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets--among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident--people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children. Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream--and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in \"red\" America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from \"liberal\" government intervention abhor the very idea?\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01knpxdkj61pjf2d20q5t5wtrj.jpg","LYQJWMxuxut7_NWBt7j[o#WBWBfR",2016,368,[143],{"id":144,"slug":145,"name":146},"01knpxdkhwpsmsprmh278vm6q3","arlie-russell-hochschild-4dxr","Arlie Russell Hochschild",[148,149,153,154],{"id":112,"name":113,"slug":114,"is_fiction":20},{"id":150,"name":151,"slug":152,"is_fiction":20},86,"Essays","essays",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":157,"complexity":7,"audience":67,"mood":158,"themes":159,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"moderate",[69,71],[],{"id":161,"slug":162,"title":163,"description":164,"primary_cover_url":165,"cover_blurhash":166,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":167,"authors":168,"genres":173,"series":176,"enrichment":177},"01kx2g9vshd0czdcewxrkyvs0a","how-we-show-up-islk","How We Show Up","\"A provocative, essential guide to showing up for each other and cultivating community, from activist, community organizer and thought leader whose viral TED talk has been viewed more than 1.8 million times\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2g9vtjkpf3jjmttbf6nc16.jpg?v=b492b73a0b","LIK^Z{t700nixtfPWCba00af~qe.",272,[169],{"id":170,"slug":171,"name":172},"01kx2g9vsy7ed45ft8d7v6prrp","mia-birdsong-tp8v","Mia Birdsong",[174,175],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":64,"complexity":7,"audience":67,"mood":178,"themes":180,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[179,71],"inspiring",[],{"id":182,"slug":183,"title":184,"description":185,"primary_cover_url":186,"cover_blurhash":187,"first_publish_year":188,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":189,"authors":190,"genres":195,"series":204,"enrichment":205},"01kk2bwnt93qxyf28tj5scfyqe","reconstruction-klgj","Reconstruction","A definitive account of Reconstruction—the period after the American Civil War when the defeated Southern states were reintegrated into the Union and millions of formerly enslaved people fought for citizenship, land, and political power.

As they tiptoe through minefields of romantic, substance-fueled misadventure—from dirty warehouses and gentrified bars in Oakland to desolate farm towns in Alabama—Purnell’s characters strive for belonging in a world that dismisses them for being Black, broke, and queer. In spite of it—or perhaps because of it—they shine. Armed with a deadpan wit, Purnell finds humor in even the darkest of nadirs with the peerless zeal, insight, and horniness of a gay punk messiah. Together, the slice-of-life tales that writhe within 100 Boyfriends are an inimitable tour of an unexposed queer underbelly. Holding them together is the vision of an iconoclastic storyteller, as fearless as he is human.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27h158xa1b7ywa0gqabr5e.jpg?v=c1d214850c","LNCY289^^N9^=woej[oL}qs.bHsn",2021,[478,482],{"id":479,"slug":480,"name":481},"01kx27h13sg8fjw6kydjxd400x","brontez-purnell-1nvs","Brontez Purnell",{"id":483,"slug":484,"name":485},"01kx27h13y6rz4x3vqjfedy57g","purnell-h7jd","Purnell",[487,491],{"id":488,"name":489,"slug":490,"is_fiction":19},33,"Contemporary Romance","contemporary-romance",{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":129,"complexity":7,"audience":67,"mood":494,"themes":497,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[495,496,131],"funny","satirical",[498],"found-family",{"id":500,"slug":501,"title":502,"description":503,"primary_cover_url":504,"cover_blurhash":505,"first_publish_year":373,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":506,"authors":507,"genres":516,"series":518,"enrichment":519},"01kx276cq06wb22fr2h898jy8c","how-to-be-less-stupid-about-race-jr6e","How to Be Less Stupid About Race","\"A primer that explores how our racist American society socializes us all to be racially stupid--and what we can do about it\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx276cqtt719v78rrs7b0wfy.jpg?v=fa93aaba16","LQHM}YxYT#S*ror:XoT1Tgi^Vto}",243,[508,512],{"id":509,"slug":510,"name":511},"01kx276cqbnch5n2866cygg4ft","crystal-marie-fleming-aaep","Crystal Marie Fleming",{"id":513,"slug":514,"name":515},"01kx276cqej5wk8e3r4bdz8ffd","melanie-taylor-fgld","Melanie Taylor",[517],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":157,"complexity":7,"audience":67,"mood":520,"themes":521,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[70,69],[],{"key":523,"params":524,"works":525},"genre_mood",{"genre":35,"mood":69},[526,546,575,598,621,634],{"id":527,"slug":528,"title":529,"description":530,"primary_cover_url":531,"cover_blurhash":532,"first_publish_year":533,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":534,"authors":535,"genres":540,"series":542,"enrichment":543},"01kx6nxn400cvb6s52bdb0wfvf","prisoners-of-geography-oekl","Prisoners of Geography","All leaders are constrained by geography.

To understand Putin's actions, for example, it is essential to consider that, to be a world power, Russia must have a navy. And if its ports freeze for six months each year then it must have access to a warm water port - hence, the annexation of Crimea was the only option for Putin. To understand the Middle East, it is crucial to know that geography is the reason why countries have logically been shaped as they are - and this is why invented countries (e.g. Syria, Iraq, Libya) will not survive as nation states.

We habitually think of the European past as the history of countries which exist today - France, Germany, Britain, Russia and so on - but often this actually obstructs our view of the past, and blunts our sensitivity to the ever-changing political landscape. Europe's history is littered with kingdoms, duchies, empires and republics which have now disappeared but which were once fixtures on the map of their age - 'the Empire of Aragon' which once dominated the western Mediterranean; the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, for a time the largest country in Europe; the successive kingdoms (and one duchy) of Burgundy, much of whose history is now half-remembered - or half-forgotten - at best. This book shows the reader how to peer through the cracks of mainstream history writing and listen to the echoes of lost realms across the centuries. How many British people know that Glasgow was founded by the Welsh in a period when neither England nor Scotland existed? How many of us will remember the former Soviet Union in a few generations' time? Will our own United Kingdom become a distant memory too? As in his earlier celebrated books Europe: a history and The Isles, Norman Davies aims to subvert our established view of what seems familiar, and urges us to look and think again. This stimulating surprising book, full of unexpected stories, observations and connections, gives us a fresh and original perspective on the history of Europe. -- Product Description.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nygmmx7q6nj6f9hecehpt.jpg?v=8364edc35a","LhJbdCs,%LRk?wjrjZt7ITofWBog",2011,672,[644],{"id":645,"slug":646,"name":647},"01kx6nygmjg03sqqgca3pa3m3x","norman-jordan-davies-2ro5","Norman Jordan Davies",[649,650],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":112,"name":113,"slug":114,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":64,"complexity":7,"audience":67,"mood":653,"themes":654,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[70,232,69],[],{"key":656,"params":657,"works":658},"genre",{"genre":35},[659,681,706,734,760,782],{"id":660,"slug":661,"title":662,"description":663,"primary_cover_url":664,"cover_blurhash":665,"first_publish_year":641,"community_rating_avg":666,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":667,"authors":668,"genres":673,"series":677,"enrichment":678},"01kx25pkaq5f71kzvcg6a68kd0","the-anatomy-of-a-moment-thirty-five-minutes-in-history-and-imagination-ncgl","The Anatomy of a Moment Thirty-five Minutes in History and Imagination","In February 1981, Spain was still emerging from Franco's shadow, holding a democratic vote for the new prime minister. On the day of the vote in Parliament, while the session was being filmed by TV cameras, a band of right-wing soldiers burst in with automatic weapons, ordering everyone to get down. Only three men defied the order. For thirty-five minutes, as the cameras rolled, they stayed in their seats.Critically adored novelist Javier Cercas originally set out to write a novel about this pivotal moment, but determined it had already gained an air of myth, or, through the annual broadcast of video clips, had at least acquired the fictional taint of reality television. Cercas turned to nonfiction, and his vivid descriptions of the archival footage frame a narrative that traverses the line between history and art, creating a daring new account of this watershed moment in modern Spanish history.The Anatomy of a Moment caused a sensation upon its publication in Spain, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. The story will be new to many American readers, but the book stands resolutely on its own as a compelling literary inquest of national myth, personal memory, political spectacle, and reality itself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25pkb76xrh29vfj8vdmy9k.jpg?v=d4bc1e6284","L5C=O_TFt5M~0$w{xZIq_r?Dxsf7","4.00",410,[669],{"id":670,"slug":671,"name":672},"01kpp8fzqbh54d1pzthf7rs9ky","javier-cercas-ivrl","Javier Cercas",[674,675,676],{"id":457,"name":458,"slug":459,"is_fiction":19},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":112,"name":113,"slug":114,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":157,"complexity":7,"audience":67,"mood":679,"themes":680,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[69,232],[],{"id":682,"slug":683,"title":684,"description":685,"primary_cover_url":686,"cover_blurhash":687,"first_publish_year":688,"community_rating_avg":689,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":690,"authors":691,"genres":696,"series":700,"enrichment":701},"01kx7gqx2pjdnmvnh0d289a0yx","that-librarian-yn98","That Librarian","Part memoir, part manifesto, That Librarian is small-town Louisiana librarian Amanda Jones's account of standing up for diverse books at a public library board meeting and becoming a target for extremists involved in coordinated book-banning campaigns.

Rather than back down, she sued her harassers for defamation and began organizing other librarians and readers in response. The book maps the broader book-banning movement across the United States, its funding and political backers, and argues for a defense of intellectual freedom in libraries.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7gqx3cabzwktkytx20fqwg.jpg?v=ea5dc1f552","LEF5Kv~WB-$%RjtQWVNG0eNb,@S3",2024,"3.00",387,[692],{"id":693,"slug":694,"name":695},"01kx7gqx36eggpt4jdxen2aaqd","amanda-jones-3vvy","Amanda Jones",[697,698,699],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":399,"name":400,"slug":401,"is_fiction":20},{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":157,"complexity":7,"audience":67,"mood":702,"themes":704,"setting_period":7,"summary":705,"content_warnings":7},[179,573,69,703],"gritty",[],"Louisiana librarian Amanda Jones recounts becoming a target of harassment and death threats after speaking up against book-banning campaigns at a public library board meeting, and her decision to sue her harassers for defamation.",{"id":707,"slug":708,"title":709,"description":710,"primary_cover_url":711,"cover_blurhash":712,"first_publish_year":713,"community_rating_avg":714,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":715,"authors":716,"genres":725,"series":730,"enrichment":731},"01kx6nsge3ekzh6ggkj314rnmf","the-presidents-aomn","The Presidents","The Presidents collects the complete rankings from C-SPAN's Historians Surveys of Presidential Leadership, the long-running poll in which leading presidential historians and biographers rate every U.S. president across categories such as persuasive ability, moral authority, and administrative skill.\n\nBuilt from decades of interviews C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb and Susan Swain conducted with presidential biographers, the book profiles each of the 43 men who had served as president at the time of the 2017 survey, ordering them from the highest-ranked (Abraham Lincoln) to the lowest (James Buchanan).

In his seminal new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, journalist Tim Alberta, himself a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement. Through the eyes of televangelists and small-town preachers, celebrity revivalists and everyday churchgoers, Alberta tells the story of a faith cheapened by ephemeral fear, a promise corrupted by partisan subterfuge, and a reputation stained by perpetual scandal. For millions of conservative Christians, America is their kingdom—a land set apart, a nation uniquely blessed, a people in special covenant with God. This love of country, however, has given way to right-wing nationalist fervor, a reckless blood-and-soil idolatry that trivializes the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Alberta retraces the arc of the modern evangelical movement, placing political and cultural inflection points in the context of church teachings and traditions, explaining how Donald Trump's presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic only accelerated historical trends that long pointed toward disaster. Reporting from half-empty sanctuaries and standing-room-only convention halls across the country, the author documents a growing fracture inside American Christianity and journeys with readers through this strange new environment in which loving your enemies is \"woke\" and owning the libs is the answer to WWJD. Accessing the highest echelons of the American evangelical movement, Alberta investigates the ways in which conservative Christians have pursued, exercised, and often abused power in the name of securing this earthly kingdom. He highlights the battles evangelicals are fighting—and the weapons of their warfare—to demonstrate the disconnect from scripture: Contra the dictates of the New Testament, today's believers are struggling mightily against flesh and blood, eyes fixed on the here and now, desperate for a power that is frivolous and fleeting. Lingering at the intersection of real cultural displacement and perceived religious persecution, Alberta portrays a rapidly secularizing America that has come to distrust the evangelical church, and weaves together present-day narratives of individual pastors and their churches as they confront the twin challenges of lost status and diminished standing. Sifting through the wreckage—pastors broken, congregations battered, believers losing their religion because of sex scandals and political schemes—Alberta asks: If the American evangelical movement has ceased to glorify God, what is its purpose?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7ch1c658fpkffyh9x6kyf7.jpg?v=1c9967c765","L0A0q00000oz00~q00a#00RO4;of",2023,503,[744],{"id":745,"slug":746,"name":747},"01kvqyd1ebac4gkrdj7nf1jhby","tim-alberta-wwqn","Tim Alberta",[749,750,751,755],{"id":354,"name":355,"slug":356,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":752,"name":753,"slug":754,"is_fiction":20},107,"Christianity","christianity",{"id":112,"name":113,"slug":114,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":157,"complexity":7,"audience":67,"mood":758,"themes":759,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[69,573],[],{"id":761,"slug":762,"title":763,"description":764,"primary_cover_url":765,"cover_blurhash":766,"first_publish_year":373,"community_rating_avg":689,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":95,"authors":767,"genres":772,"series":778,"enrichment":779},"01kx7ek4cfp964v4cqkyv7dfg9","the-second-o-of-sorrow-7ptf","The Second O of Sorrow","Winner of the 2019 Paterson Poetry Prize Winner of the 2019 Housatonic Book Award for Poetry Sean Thomas Dougherty celebrates the struggles, the dignity, and the joys of working-class life in the Rust Belt.
