Praise for this book

""Social Character in a Mexican Village" is notable both for methodology and theory. The first serious attempt to combine intensive psychological and psychoanalytic research techniques with detailed anthropological observations, it gives insights into peasant life going far beyond more traditional studies."

--George M. Foster, University of California, Berkeley"Fromm and Maccoby have written a study of crucial importance. They have documented the destructiveness to a Mexican village of this developmental concept. They have presented this evidence in the framework of a seminal theory of social character. And they have pointed the way to a more human type of development."

--Richard J. Barnet, Co-Director, Institute for Policy Studies
