Against the tide

making waves and breaking silences

Erika Apfelbaum

pp. 1-36

In the introduction to her book of biographies (Vies politiques [Men in Dark Times], 1974), Hannah Arendt points out that as we question certain men and women about the fashion in which each has lived their life and evolved on the world's stage, we take the measure of a whole epoch and we illuminate what is common for everyone. The following narrative is directly in line with Arendt's observation, since my life has unfolded and been closely connected with a significant period in the development of social psychology. Accordingly, my story may provide some insights into the socio-cultural and historical changes in the discipline during the period in which I have been both its witness and an active participant/contributor.
