Description:
"Power and politics at the seaside ... opens by locating tourism within the wider leisure experience, addressing the seaside holiday as a historical and sociological phenomenon. It examines the ability of the local state to shape resort development through advertising, facility provision and transport policies. The book contests that politics and power relations are central to the development of the modern seaside resort."--Jacket.
