Arlie Russell Hochschild Quote

Arlie Russell Hochschild (; born January 15, 1940) is an American writer and professor emeritus of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. Hochschild's scholarship has long focused on the human emotions that underlie moral beliefs, practices, and social life generally. She is the author of ten books including the forthcoming Stolen Pride: Loss, Shame and the Rise of the Right (The New Press, Sept 10, 2024), a follow-up to her 2016 book, Strangers in Their Own Land, a New York Times Bestseller and finalist for the National Book Award. In these and other books, she continues the sociological tradition of C. Wright Mills by drawing links between private troubles and public issues. In drawing this link, she has tried to illuminate the ways we recognize, attend to, appraise, evoke and suppress -- that is to say, manage-- emotion. She has applied this focus to the family, to work and to politics. Her works have been translated into 17 languages (World Affairs). She is also the author of a children's book titled Coleen The Question Girl, illustrated by Gail Ashby.
