A collection of critical essays which reject the assumptions that
leisure relations are relations of freedom, self determination,
life satisfaction and growth. The essays look at power and policy
issues in leisure relations and attempt to produce a critical
sociology of the subject.;The first part deals with theoretical
perspectives on leisure, associated with the conventional wisdom
and neo-Marxism, Elias, Freud, Simmel and bourgeois thought. The
second considers issues of power and planning in leisure practice.
It consists of essays on leisure policy, women's leisure, the
informal economy, drug use and struggles over leisure time and
space.
