Abstract(s)
This 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.
