This book explores entanglements between politics and leisure,
ranging from the electorate's concerns with public recreation
resources, to the presence of politics in casual conversation, and
to the use of leisure as a means of preserving racial hierarchies
in society. In noting the contributions of past scholarship, it
also points toward a trend of increasingly political leisure
research, where research helps to unpack the multiple ways in which
power suffuses the experience of leisure. A contrast between 'being
political', on one hand, and the tribal politicization that
characterizes much of contemporary social life, on the other hand,
demonstrates that scholars and educators can and should be engaged
in politically-oriented scholarship, while also building a more
diverse and intellectually productive academy. This edited volume
will be of great interest to researchers and scholars interested in
race, power, polarization, and the interrelationship between
politics and leisure. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of the journal Leisure Sciences.
