Much of the writing on charisma focuses on specific traits
associated with exceptional leaders, a practice that has broadened
the concept of charisma to such an extent that it loses its
distinctiveness - and therefore its utility. 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.
