In February 2018, Chua’s fifth book was published. Titled Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations, it covers the topic of how loyalty to groups often outweighs ideological considerations. She examines how a failure to realize this has played a role in both the failure of US foreign policy abroad and the rise of Donald Trump domestically. The book received overwhelming positive reviews from across the political spectrum. David Frum, writing for The New York Times, praised Chua for her willingness to approach “the no-go areas around which others usually tiptoe.” The Washington Post described the book as “compact, insightful, disquieting, yet ultimately hopeful,” and Ezra Klein called the book “fascinating” on his Vox podcast. The book received a few criticisms. The Guardian called it “a well-intentioned book that never quite comes together.” The Financial Times stated that it was “an important book,” and supported Chua’s argument “that America’s liberal elite has contributed to Trump’s rise by failing to acknowledge its own sense of tribalism”; it did, however, also state that it left the “crucial question” of how to create a “non-tribal world” unanswered. J.D. Vance, a former student of Chua and author of Hillbilly Elegy, praised the book, saying that “Political Tribes is a beautifully written, eminently readable, and uniquely important challenge to conventional wisdom.”
