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.
