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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This volume’s strength lies in its broad range of historical case studies combined with a robust collection of essays addressing conceptual and theoretical aspects of charismatic leadership”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e ·  Anthropological Notebooks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is an interesting and stimulating collection of articles which, taken together, cover both conceptional\/theoretical and empirical aspects of the role and features of charisma in general, and charisma in social movements in particular.
