The book aims to demonstrate that despite the apparent lack of
interest by leadership practitioners of an African orientation to
document and publish empirical accounts of strategic leadership
case study practices emerging from rural Zimbabwe, there is clear
evidence that huge volumes of information on the subject of
leadership exist. The book is an attempt to document testable
leadership experiences that add to the existing body of knowledge
on the subject of strategic leadership. The experiences presented
are unique enough to motivate readers to want to interrogate the
leadership themes flighted in each of the ten chapters of this
book. The style of presentation of the study materials suites
students pursuing diploma, undergraduate, masters level studies and
can also be used as reference materials for doctoral studies
The schism that split the Russian Orthodox Church in 1667 alienated
thousands of devout men and women. These traditional worshippers,
who came to be known as the Old Believers, practiced their faith as
outsiders for more than two centuries. Denied the Russian Orthodox
Church's sacraments, they in turn denied that its "new" ways could
lead them to salvation. Always at odds with the established Russian
Orthodox Church and the tsar, the Old Believers created a vibrant
separate culture within the imperial Russian state. Old Believers
in Modern Russia shows how Russia's most traditional religious
group created a "culture of community" distinct from the dominant
culture and society. This culture provided a lens through which the
faithful could view, interpret, and interact with their world.
Focusing especially on imperial Russia's twilight years, Robson
explores how the Old Believers adapted to rapid change in the early
twentieth century. Until recently, little has been known about Old
Believer faith and culture. Most previous studies have relied upon
information provided by outsiders, usually the state or the Russian
Orthodox Church. Robson explores Old Believer experience from the
inside in this first detailed study of the group in the late
imperial period. He integrates historical methods with
communication theory and symbolic anthropology to reveal the many
facets of Old Believer life.
