A critical evaluation of the central debates within leisure studies, looking at both management theories and leisure management, as well as historical debates on key issues such as rational recreation, public service broadcasting and tourism.
What is the place of leisure in societies where people complain of 'over-work'? How do personal freedom and choice relate to the inequalities of class, gender, disability and ethnicity?

 

This critical introduction to the field offers a systematic account of the meaning and structure of leisure today.

• situates the student in the field

• provides a comprehensive account of the leading approaches to leisure

• explores the influence of class, race, gender, ethnicity, disability and age

• discusses to role of the sate

• examines leisure in the context of changing work relationships

• locates leisure in the debate around globalization

 

In short, this is an indispensable, one-stop guide to understanding leisure.
