“This edited volume presents a wealth of cases and examples on interplays of identity, community, and events. It is a valuable resource for scholars in the fields of psychology, sociology, and leisure engaged in discussing issues of identity formation and contestation, and for graduate students in those disciplines.” (Svitlana Iarmolenko Ramer, Annals of Leisure Research, November, 2016)
