More particularly, the concept’s relevance to the study of social movements has not moved beyond generalizations. The contributors to this volume renew the debate on charismatic leadership from a historical perspective and seek to illuminate the concept’s relevance to the study of social movements. The case studies here include such leaders as Mahatma Gandhi; the architect of apartheid, Daniel F. Malan; the heroine of the Spanish Civil War, Dolores Ibarruri (la pasionaria); and Mao Zedong. These charismatic leaders were not just professional politicians or administrators, but sustained a strong symbiotic relationship with their followers, one that stimulated devotion to the leader and created a real group identity.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 458gContributor: Jan Willem Stutje (Edited by)Author: Jan Willem StutjeGenre: Law & PoliticsBook Series: International Studies in Social HistoryTopic: Social Sciences, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
