Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The story of a small town's fight over LGBTQ+ rights that reveals how the far right weaponizes social issues to declare whose lives are valuable-and whose are expendableWinner of the Ruth Benedict PrizeThe story of a small town's fight over LGBTQ+ rights that reveals how the far right weaponizes social issues to declare whose lives are valuable-and whose are expendableA new preface bridges the past and the present in Arlene Stein's award-winning work of narrative sociology, The Stranger Next Door, contextualizing the so-called "culture wars" as they have evolved since the post-Reagan years. With deep on-the-ground research and vivid storytelling, Stein explores how the right mobilizes fear and uncertainty to shift blame onto "strangers" and how these symbolic struggles undermine democracy.Faced with globalization and automation, the working-class citizens of the Pacific Northwest's "Timbertown" felt left behind, fearing job loss and the hollowing out of their small town. Religious conservatives convinced many local citizens that queer people were to blame. A bitter battle to deny the civil liberties of sexual minorities ensued.Though set in the 1990s, The Stranger Next Door is a story that echoes loudly today. Stein looks at how local conflicts over LGTBQ+ rights and other social issues paved the way for the contemporary right-wing populist resurgence. The Stranger Next Door positions today's battles over transgender rights and critical race theory in a long-running struggle to define America, offering a razor-sharp examination of how the right manufactures local culture wars to divide and conquer. A small town believes they are "under siege from homosexuals" as animosity begins to tear it apart. Author Stein writes as both a community insider and outsider, drawing upon personal observation, media analysis and interviews with 50 of the town's residents to sympathetically and critically reveal how both sides, and those caught in the middle, responded to this culture war.
