Tiivistelmä
Unlike housing and employment segregation, leisure segregation remains underresearched. Leisure offers insights into the informality of everyday life that policies strive to address. Moreover, studies of integration and leisure are limited to sports, outdoor, and public or consumer spaces. This article explores leisure patterns among Somalis in the city of Turku, Finland, enriching the literature on leisure, race, and ethnicity through its novel geographical approach. My study shows the relevance of informal leisure practices and home-like spaces to Finnish Somalis' leisure and contributes to discussions around leisure, gender, and class. I find that Finnish Somalis' age, time of migration, and power relations shape leisure segregation and interactions the most. I argue that addressing power and whiteness is unavoidable to understand integration, segregation, and leisure.
