The way in which leisure is used to construct whiteness and the way
in which whiteness shapes leisure, is an important unanswered theme
in sociological analyses of leisure. This book develops a new
theory of instrumental whiteness and leisure, which draws in part
on existing leisure theories and in part on the critical theorising
around 'race' and whiteness. In developing a new theory of
whiteness and leisure, new primary and existing secondary empirical
research is drawn upon to highlight whiteness across a
comprehensive and internationally-grounded range of leisure
practices. The book explores sports participation, sports media and
sports fandom, informal leisure, outdoor leisure, music, popular
culture and tourism.
This book is grounded in Spracklen's development of leisure theory
that uses a Habermasian framework of communicative and instrumental
rationalities and actions to understand the tensions between
utopian theories of individualized leisure and dystopian theories
of increasing constraint and control.
