Tapestry: Gratitude
Audio currently not available for this program.The words thank you sound simple enough, but theres always more to a topic, phrase, or ritual than one might think. Margaret Visser, the author of Much Depends on Dinner, is best known for her books about the history, anthropology and mythology of everyday life. Now shes turned her scholarly eye towards gratitude. The result is a book called The Gift of Thanks: The Roots, Persistence and Paradoxical Meanings of a Social Ritual. This program was produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. www.prx.org/pieces/30850-thanksgiving-gratitude-on-tapestry
