Title: Leisure life
Description: "Leisure Life is a study of men and masculinity. Focusing on the social networks and lesisure lifestyles of a particular group of working-class men - 'the lads' - Tony Blackshaw argues that traditional social collectivities such as class are being superseded. Instead, leisure life is now the central arena in which individuals define their own identities. For 'the lads', leisure time allows for the making of a postulated sense of community, with its related myths and meanings. This provides opportunities for the assertion of their masculinity."--BOOK JACKET.
