America's Emotional Fault Line: A Journey into the Great Paradox
Why would people who suffer most from industrial pollution vote against environmental regulations designed to protect them? This question drove sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild to spend five years immersed in Louisiana's bayou country, listening to the stories of Tea Party supporters whose communities bear the toxic burden of America's petrochemical industry. What she discovered wasn't a simple case of people voting against their interests, but a complex emotional landscape where identity, honor, and belonging trump material concerns. Louisiana presents the perfect laboratory for this investigation-a state ranking near the bottom in health outcomes, education, and environmental quality, yet increasingly voting for politicians who oppose federal assistance and environmental regulation. Through intimate conversations with people like Mike Schaff, who lost his home to an industrial disaster yet opposes government oversight, Hochschild uncovers how emotional self-interest often outweighs economic self-interest in shaping political views. The divide runs deeper than policy disagreements. By 2010, 40% of Republicans and 33% of Democrats reported they'd be disturbed if their child married someone from the opposite political party-up from just 5% in 1960. We've built invisible "empathy walls" that prevent understanding across political lines. Breaking through these barriers requires temporarily setting aside our own perspectives to see the world through others' eyes.
