Strangers in a Strange Homeland (A Manic Odyssey in Search of the American Spirit)

In the autumn of 2025, with Donald Trump’s second first year in office drawing to a close and the country seemingly on the brink of civil war, American expatriate award-winning author C. J. Hopkins returns to his homeland after twenty years abroad to embark on a quixotic road trip throughout the USA, searching for what remains of the American spirit.

Hopkins, accompanied by photographer Hugo Fernandez, drives headlong into the maelstrom of forces tearing at the fabric of society, encountering Americans from all walks of life and of all political persuasions. COVID dissidents, conspiracy theorists, democratic socialists, venture capitalists, sovereign citizens, Christian fundamentalists, “woke” totalitarians, liberals, conservatives, transgender Trump supporters, and just everyday garden variety citizens trying to make sense of the country's shifting—and widening—political landscape. Equal parts travelogue, memoir, and cultural study, Strangers in a Strange Homeland is a wild odyssey of the American expanse through an outsider's lens.
