Negotiating Work, Family, and Identity among Long-Haul Christian Truck Drivers: What Would Jesus Haul? - Hardcover

by Rebecca L. Upton (Author)

This book examines the significance of Christianity and constructions of masculinity in the lives of long-haul drivers and how truckers work to construct narratives of their lives as "good, moral" individuals. Using qualitative research, the narratives of evangelical truckers and their navigation of modern masculinity, work and family obligations, and identity are explored.
