What is Saharan and North African Toy and Play Cultures. Domestic life in play, games and toys about?

This book describes play activities of make-believe in the games and toys of Saharan and North African children. Under the title Domestic life in play, games and toys I have compiled a whole series of play activities that reflect many different aspects of domestic and family life. The first chapter analyses the theme of dwellings in the playful representation of the tent and the house. The second chapter describes dinner play and the toy utensils used for these games that often take place in a pretend house. The play activities linked to household tasks, which like dinner play belong for the larger part to the play world of girls, are proposed in the third chapter. These household tasks belonging to the female sphere are collecting firewood, fetching water, grinding corn, making bread, preparing oil, washing the linen, spinning, weaving and dressing up. The following chapter speaks of play in which children interpret subsistence activities. This often belongs to the play world of boys. The subsistence activities take place outside the domestic circle and they very often belong to the male sphere. They are hunting and fishing, breeding, gardening, working in the fields and trading.
