This fascinating book makes an important contribution to the history of the social sciences. It tells the largely hidden story of how social psychology became an international social science, vividly documenting the micro-politics of a virtually forgotten committee, the Committee on Transnational Social Psychology, whose work took place against the back-drop of some of the most momentous events of the twentieth century. Overcoming intellectual, institutional and political obstacles, including the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, and the military coups in Chile or Argentine, the committee struggled to bring social psychology to global recognition, not as part of a programme of intellectual imperialism, but motivated by a mixture of intellectual philanthropy and self-interest. Few authors could tell this unique story. Serge Moscovici is undoubtedly the best-placed insider to do so, together with Ivana Markova providing a lucid, erudite and carefully documented account of the work of this remarkable group.
This book will be an essential resource for any scholar interested in the history of social psychology, as well as upper-level students studying the history of the social sciences.

Review
"It has been a great pleasure to read this book – its thorough scholarship and entertaining writing style make it into a masterpiece. As a concise history of recent social psychology worldwide (1960s-1970s), it is a unique treatise on the institutional moves and personal relationships of leading social psychologists on both sides of the Atlantic. This sophisticated case study adds a crucial voice to historical and sociological scholarship. It will be particularly useful at graduate and postgraduate levels – in courses on history of psychology in general, and in special seminars on history of social psychology. This book covers the material precisely as I would like, and will be ideal for use in my seminars as core reading."
Joan Valsiner, Professor of Psychology, Clark University, USA, and Editor, Culture & Psychology
"This is a richly documented and vivid account of key events in the formation of an academic discipline. It shows how individuals make history, albeit not in conditions of their own making, by seeking an alternative path for the globalization of knowledge. The book traces the apparent failure of the project of rescuing a social psychology of human beings from the global diffusion of a local USA model (individualists, prescriptive, ethnocentric). Ironically, this "invisible college" was initiated by a visionary group of US scholars mobilizing allies in Europe, Latin America, and Asia under adverse Cold-War conditions. This is an encouraging book. The project of a universally relevant social psychology will continue to inspire the quest for genuine human understanding."
Martin W. Bauer, Director MSc Social and Public Communication, Institute of Social Psychology & Methodology Institute, London School of Economics
"This fascinating and important book makes out a carefully documented and persuasive case that one virtually forgotten committee, more than any other body, was responsible for shaping the international social psychology we know today. The book will be an essential source for future research on and understanding of the history of social psychology and anyone with an interest in that history really should read it."
Colin Fraser, Department of Social Developmental Psychology, University of Cambridge

A disappointing historical review
By J. Michael Innes
The institution of social psychology is a product entirely of the 20th century and one that has only recently entered the public consciousness, whereby commentators and analysts are able and prepared to use the theories and findings of social psychologists in preparing their accounts of social events and processes. The concept of "cognitive dissonance", for example, appearing for the first time in the writings of Leon Festinger in the mid-1950s, has only in the past decade entered the lexicon of commentators, and the work of Stanley Milgram, on obedience and deference to authority, has again only relatively recently become current (and contestably so) in the debate on genocide and the history and understanding of the Holocaust. The history and representation of social psychology as an institution has also been almost universally American-centric. Most social psychologists are trained and work in the United Sates and bring to the discipline their own culture and world views. This book, by two renowned European trained and acculturated social psychologists, provides a history of the development of the discipline in Europe. It shows how diversity of epistemology and history can change and advance the understanding of the processes and outcomes of human social behaviour. The European social psychologists who engaged with American social psychologists in the 1960s brought to bear a wealth of experience about human behaviour that was ill-represented in American thought. Serge Moscovici himself, a Czech citizen trained in France, and Henri Tajfel, a Polish psychologist trained in Britain, had personal experiences that could and did transform the ways in which everyday social contexts could be understood.
This historical account presents the development of the joint work between American and European psychologists to create and to succour the existence of a European social psychology, developing the best of the American work and representing the European experience. This is a work that can truly present the epistemology and the history of the creation of an institution. The problem is that, although it is based so primarily upon the personal experiences of the two authors, it fails really to ignite the excitement in the reader that it should. It is so personal, so based upon the diaries of the authors, and the day to day work of committees and budgets and minutiae, that the expansion of the consciousness of the protogonists is never demonstrated. There is no excitement of an intellectual history. This is a history of an institution. Institutional and organisation history is important, of course, but for a discipline to develop and to expand there must be the understanding of the sources of the discipline, not simply an account of who paid for what and when. As a person with a real experience of what it was to live as a social psychologist if those times, as a member of a pivotal summer school organized by the European Association in 1967, when a whole way of looking at social behaviour was changed by the excitement of group participation and the dynamics of social interaction, this book is a pale imitation of that experience.
This is an important volume for historians of social psychology. But it is not able to give to that history the vital ingredient of the personal, of the idiographic, which, however biased and flawed that may be, nonetheless gives the vital element to what is a human and social experience.
