Underground and Hidden Histories in Leisure Services
Files
Description
History is the study of past events; underground is what is beneath the surface —in this case, of a profession —and hidden is linked to conceal and obscure. These three concepts—history, underground, and hidden—explain this book. Drawing on James W. Loewen’s historiography, and Michele Foucault’s genealogy (historical research methodologies), this book reveals underground and hidden aspects of the leisure service profession that have been concealed, or not known, in most American leisure service textbooks. Broken into two parts (history and contemporary history of the recent past) the aim of Underground and Hidden Histories in Leisure Services is to show the reader that the past of leisure services was not what is always portrayed.
