After the completion of the revolution in 1920, Mexico quickly
became an increasingly industrialized country. The vast changes
that occurred in the first fifty years after the revolution
inspired Erich Fromm and Michael Maccoby to find out how the
Mexican people were adapting. The result, "Social Character in a
Mexican Village, " provides a new approach to the analysis of
social phenomena. The authors applied Fromm's theories of
psychoanalysis to the study of groups. They devised an ingenious
method of questionnaires, which, combined with direct observation,
clearly revealed the psychic forces that motivated the peasant
population. In his new introduction, Michael Maccoby thoroughly
explains the basis of the study, how it originated, and how it was
carried out. He goes on to delineate the results and determine
their impact on the present day. "Social Character in a Mexican
Village" throws new light on one of the world's most pressing
problems, the impact of the industrialized world on the traditional
character of the peasant. This ground-breaking work will be
invaluable to the work of sociologists, anthropologists, and
psychoanalysts.
