Böcker av Brett Lashua

This book brings together chapters that address questions of leisure, activism and the animation of urban environments. The authors share research that explores the meaning and making of activist practices, events of dissent, and the arts in everyday life.Chapters were originally published as special issue of Leisure Studies.

This book centralizes powerful leisure stories that may otherwise be understood as myths-sometimes recognized, often less so-that circulate in the field of leisure studies, and beyond.In different ways, each of these chapters alerts the readers to the "absent presence" of myths and mythmaking in leisure research.
