Race and Leisure

  • Chapter
A Handbook of Leisure Studies

Abstract

In this chapter race and leisure are examined. Interest in race, and how and why it shapes leisure practices and experiences — and leisure (re)constructs perceptions and notions of race — is relatively recent in the field of leisure studies. The discussion in this chapter is informed by the scholarship on race and ethnicity in the field of recreation and leisure as well as well as that in sport sociology, cultural studies, race and ethnic studies, and feminist studies. That is, leisure is broadly constructed in this chapter and the thinking in fields outside of recreation and leisure is considered as relates to the subject of race and leisure. The literature reviewed is primarily North American, British and Australian. In other words, this chapter presents particular ways of thinking and talking about leisure and race that are rooted in the cultures and scholarly traditions of particular societies, most notably, white-dominated cultures where aboriginal and (select) immigrant peoples are marginalized.
