Description

Getting Away from It All: Vacations and Identity explores how our time off allows us to shape our identity. Through in-depth interviews with vacationers, Karen Stein examines the role of objects, settings, and social interactions in facilitating or limiting personal growth.

Vacations reveal a great deal about individuals, signaling class and economic standing, as well as aspirations and goals. This book argues that vacations are not just about relaxation, but also about working on the person one wants to be.
