This collection of first-person accounts from legendary social
psychologists tells the stories behind the science and offers
unique insight into the development of the field from the 1950s to
the present. One pillar, the grandson of a slave, was inspired by
Kenneth Clark. Yet when he entered his PhD program in the 1960s, he
was told that race was not a variable for study. Other pillars
faced first-hand a type of sexism that was hardly subtle, when
women were not permitted into the faculty dining room. Still others
have lived through a tremendous diversification of social
psychology, not only in the United States but in Europe and Asia,
that characterizes the field today. Together these stories, always
witty and sometimes emotional, form a mosaic of the field as a
whole - its legends, their theories and research, their
relationships with one another, and their sense of where social
psychology is headed.
