Synopsis: This book argues for, while critically engaging with, the proposition that leisure is a human right. The structure of the book sets this proposition within historical and international legal human rights contexts, particularly exploring the human rights/legal conception of leisure as time and activities compared with other conceptualisations arising in the field of leisure studies.The implications for different socio-economic, age-related, gender and ethnic groups are also explored. The book will be of interest to leisure studies scholars unfamiliar with the detail of the concept of human rights and the human rights scholars unfamiliar with the concept of leisure as a human right in international law.
