- Children's spinning tops in North Africa and the SaharaPublication . Rossie, Jean-PierreThis chapter is related to a description and analysis of North African and Saharan children’s play and toy cultures published on Academia.edu and Scribd under the author’s name. After the introduction, text is divided into three parts: child made spinning tops with natural material, child made spinning tops with waste material, and children’s spinning tops made by artisans. The information is based on fieldwork among Ghrib children from the Tunisian Sahara in 1975 and 1977, and among Moroccan Amazigh (Berber) and Arabicspeaking children since 1992. Other data were found in the consulted bibliography. These children aged between four and fourteen years belong to families and communities living in rural and urban environments during the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. As the images are essential, the reader is provided with 14 illustrations in the text and a PowerPoint freely available on the Internet.

- Saharan – North African – Amazigh children’s toy catalogs: Donation to Musée du Jouet de Moirans-en-Montagne second part. Toys related to domestic lifePublication . Rossie, Jean-PierreEngaged since 1975 in research on games and toys and later on in experiments in the field of intercultural education based on this research, the idea slowly matured to create a collection called Saharan and North African Toy and Play Cultures. A toy and play culture that rightly should be part of the cultural heritage of humanity, just as the masterpieces of art and architecture. In January 2015 I began to write a series of catalogs to provide access to interested researchers and other persons to the about 1250 toys and other playthings which I donated to museums and socio-cultural associations. As the donation to Musée du Jouet de Moirans-en-Montagne includes about 700 toys, I divided the catalog of this gift into three parts. The first part shows dolls and toy animals of Moroccan and Tunisian children. This second part talks about Moroccan and Tunisian children’s toys related to domestic life.In order to make the information on Saharan and North African games and toys available to people reading English as well as to those reading French, to stimulate the exchange of information and the reciprocal enrichment of ideas and actions between the French-speaking and the English-speaking world, who otherwise remain too often separated by a linguistic cleavage, the studies are published in English and in French.
