Description: This book is both an account of a specific labour process and its workers, and a study of how the working-class women and men of Job Brothers recounted stories of their work and domestic lives and thus fashioned shifting identities as gendered, classed, and racialized subjects. In addition, the author analyzes her subjects with a relexivity that seeks to understand her influence on those she has studied, as well as their influence on her.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [360]-372) and index.
