Details

This book deals with the concept of leisure and the everyday leisure practices of a group of diverse single women in an urban settingMannheim, Germany. Vania Sandoval focuses on how social structure and individual choices relate to each other in the local context. Initially, the book considers the women as a relatively homogenous group, analyzing how they conceive, organize and experience their leisure in a similar manner with individual nuances. It then proceeds to highlight some of the processes that lead, in this particular case, to migration-based differences in their leisure practices.

Complicates problematic common explanations for differing conceptions/definitions of leisure Draws on extensive fieldwork to show how various women's views of leisure are shaped by particular experiences of migration and the urban spaces they inhabit Bridges migration studies and leisure studies while also combining rigorous empirical research with theory
