Leisure, Racism, and National Populist Politics responds to the
rise and revival of nationalistic, ethnocentric, and authoritarian
forms of hegemony, power, and control. Importantly, as a collection
of essays, it foregrounds and (re)politicises debates around race
and racism, recognising the significance of leisure spaces to the
emergence of bottom-up, polymorphous, and dynamic forms of
community, resistance, and belonging. A range of authors present a
critical and varied exploration of the global manifestations of
state-based, increasingly mainstream, racist politics, whilst
concomitantly unpicking connected assemblages of power and control.
For example: how homonormativity and whiteness structure queer
visibility, sexual and civic rights; how white supremacist rhetoric
is transformed and differently coded through anti-Black university
traditions and state pride; how Western nation-states structure
Muslim identity as opposite to national identity; how leisure
becomes the site of protest against larger classist and corporate
ventures; and how the hegemony of neoliberal, state, and municipal
planning practices, and policies about rights to spaces of the
neighbourhood, city, and sport, are understood, negotiated, and
challenged. The book serves to not only enhance understanding of
populist politics but, also, to demand an end to ethnic and racial
violence perpetuated through nationalistic and racialised
discourses about belonging, citizenship, and social rights to the
nation. This edited volume will be a key resource for students and
scholars interested in the dynamics of race, gender, and nation,
and the politics of belonging in the realm of leisure. The chapters
in this book were originally published as a special issue of
Leisure Studies.
