@article{1480806, note = {Includes index.}, author = {Mukherjee, Utsa.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1480806}, title = {Childhoods & leisure : cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary dialogues /}, publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan,}, abstract = {This edited volume brings together interdisciplinary scholarship on childrens everyday leisure from across the globe, addressing key questions around childrens' agency, rights, child-adult relations, and social change. It is positioned to inaugurate a new frontier of research within leisure studies. Leisure theory has historically been adult-centric and based in the global north, and consequently, childrens lived experiences of leisure have remained marginal to theory-building exercises within leisure studies since its inception. As the call for decolonizing leisure studies grows, this book champions a cross-cultural and social justice agenda that does not privilege global north childhoods but acknowledges the multiplicity of lived childhoods across the globe and their inter-connections. By drawing attention to childrens leisure across multiple genres such as organized leisure, sports, play, and digital leisure among others, this edited volume drives a new wave of research that speaks simultaneously to leisure studies and childhood studies and thereby advances the intellectual remit of global leisure studies.
