“[A] groundbreaking study combining psychoanalytical and
anthropological methods to analyse the impact of industrialization on
‘peasants.’” —Booknews The renowned psychoanalyst Erich Fromm
analyzed more than just general society and societal processes.
Together with Michael Maccoby, he completed a study of Mexican
villagers to empirically illustrate how historical, economic, and
social requirements determine behavior. Social Character in a Mexican
Village does much more than introduce a new approach to the analysis
of social phenomena. It throws new light on one of the world’s most
pressing problems, the impact of the industrialized world on the
traditional character of the laboring class. Unanimously, the book is
an outstanding introduction to Fromm’s concept of social character.
“Fromm and Maccoby have written a study of crucial importance.”
