Inuit Morality Play: The Emotional Education of a Three-Year-Old - Briggs, Jean L

Clean, tight, unmarked; a few light pokes to front; light wear to upper inside corner; otherwise very minimal wear; spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; In this riveting book, psychological anthropologist Jean L. Briggs examines dramatic interactions between Chubby Maata, a 3-year-old Inuit girl, and the adults in her world. In these playful yet emotionally charged dramas, Inuit adults enact with their children the plots that drive Inuit social life; they test, act out problems, entertain themselves, and create children who think and feel like Inuit.
