Summary

A new approach to the study of masculinity and the ethnography of leisure,Leisure Lifeis a ground-breaking study of contemporary youth and masculinity. Focusing on the social networks and leisure lifestyles of a particular group of working-class men, the book uniquely combines the boys own raw and compelling accounts of their leisure experiences, including 'pubbing and clubbing', with a sophisticated postmodern analysis.

Author Biography
