Description
Book SynopsisSerge Moscovici first introduced the concept of social representations into contemporary social psychology nearly forty years ago. Since then the theory has become one of the predominant approaches in social psychology, not only in continental Europe, but increasingly in the Anglo--Saxon world as well.
Trade Review'Serge Moscovici has been a steady and brilliant influence for the good in social psychology. Even when you don't agree with him, he's still worth listening to attentively.'
