Negotiating Work, Family, and Identity among LongHaul Christian Truck Drivers: What Would Jesus Haul?,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This book draws upon ethnographic and qualitative research in the United States to demonstrate the means through which longhaul truck drivers navigate work and family tensions in ways that resonate across categories of race, class, gender and religion. It examines how Christianity and constructions of masculinity are significant in the lives of longhaul drivers and how truckers work to construct narratives of their lives as good, moral individuals in contrast to competing cultural narratives which suggest images of romantic, rulefree, renegade lives on the open road. Based upon ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, observations of longhaul truckers, and participation in a CDL school, this rich ethnography highlights how Christian trucking opportunities provide avenues through which balance is struck between work and family, masculinity and other identities. Embedded in larger social discourse about the meaning of masculinity and similar to evangelical perspectives such as those of the Promise Keepers, Christian truckers often draw upon older ideas about responsible, breadwinning fatherhood in their discourse about being good fathers while on the road. This discourse is in some conflict with the lived experiences of Christian truckers who simultaneously find themselves confronted by more contemporary cultural narratives of the workfamily balance and expectations of what it means to be a good worker or a good trucker. The book offers new insight in the field of work and family studies and an extremely relevant voice in the broader contemporary discourse in the United States on the meaning of fatherhood and religion in the 21st century.
