About

Recent political ruptures are reflective of a moment in time when we are increasingly  losing faith in the institutions, communities and stories that once held a society together. New Yorker investigative journalist and Chief Washington Correspondent, Jane Mayer, is the bestselling author of Dark Money, and has spent decades exposing the hidden networks of money and influence shaping American politics. Sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild’s research explores the emotions, experiences and sense of loss behind political division and in Stolen Pride examines the impact economic and cultural loss has had on a community’s pride, and how it has driven the resonance of the political right. In conversation with Philippe Sands, they bring these perspectives together to ask how America became so fractured, how these fault lines are extending across national borders, and what may come next.


Rupture / Justice is a specially curated series of events examining the fault lines that are fracturing our times. Guided by Philippe Sands,  award-winning author and one of the world’s foremost international lawyers, each event takes a thematic approach to bring together a panel of global voices to ask, when the world breaks, how can wounds be healed, who will tell the story, and where and when can justice be applied?

From the bestselling, National Book Award finalist, author of Strangers in Their Own Land, an intimate glimpse into the cultural factors that gave rise to the right in one of our country’s most overlooked regions—Appalachia, with a new afterword by the author For all the attempts to understand the state of American politics and the blue/red divide, we’ve ignored one critical question: what can economic and cultural loss do to pride? What happens, Arlie Russell Hochschild asks, in a work called “one of the year’s most important books” by Counterpunch, when the people of a hard-hit, long-ignored, region are grappling with a loss of pride while being confronted with a powerful political appeal—one that makes it feel “stolen”?
