The Meaning of Leisure  [electronic resource] : Definitions and Practices among Migrant and Non-Migrant Women in an Urban Space /
Sandoval, Vania L.author.
This book deals with the concept of leisure and the everyday leisure practices of a group of diverse single women in an urban setting—Mannheim, 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. .
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
