Arlie Russell Hochschild (; born January 15, 1940) is an American professor emeritus of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley and writer. Hochschild has long focused on the human emotions that underlie moral beliefs, practices, and social life generally. She is the author of ten books, including Stolen Pride: Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right (The New Press, September 10, 2024), which explores life in a struggling Appalachian town, and focuses on the political appeal to undeserved lost pride. The book was chosen by Barack Obama as one of his ten "favorite books of 2024." Since the book was published, Hochschild has continued to check in with her informants to see how they are responding to the Trump presidency. Read more on Wikipedia
