Bag om Testing the Margins of Leisure

This volume offers eight studies on different historical and present-day aspects of leisure in Asia.

The volume engages with a field that has been rapidly growing due to the heightened role of leisure activities in defining a person¿s identity, the fading of the work/leisure divide in the post-industrial age, and the increasing economic importance of leisure pursuits such as tourism. Bringing Asia into the discussion contributes in resetting the study of leisure into a truly global context.
