Rezensionen
"The Routledge Handbook of Charisma is a very valuable contribution to social theory and interdisciplinary scholarship. Chapters helpfully explore the heritage of the concept, examine its place in classical social theory, and show its relevance for contemporary research - all at a high standard."

Craig Calhoun, University Professor of Social Sciences, Arizona State University, US

"An authoritative collection of essays reworking the concept of charisma just in time for its spectacular return to political life globally. But this is not simply a volume that allows us to make sense of populism, comprising, instead, a remarkable range of investigations into the meaning of charisma from across the academic disciplines and around the world."

Faisal Devji, Professor of Indian History, University of Oxford, UK

"This Handbook is truly a Charisma 2.0 version as designed by the editor. It is quite comprehensive in surveying the fascinating field of charisma from every conceivable angle from its origins to religion to the arts. It should interest scholars from a variety of disciplines and encourage future research."

Raj Pillai, Professor of Leadership, California State University, San Marcos, US

"Charisma deconstructed, revitalized and extended in myriad paths with unexpected and energizing results - this Handbook is a landmark in understanding leadership, authority, obedience and the politics of imposture."

Chris Rojek, Professor of Sociology, City, University of London, UK

"This is a timely and important collection of essays on a timely and important subject. It brings together some of the most incisive commentators on the concept of charisma, who have explored its many different facets in a consistently illuminating manner, while also giving an excellent sense of how scholarly discussions on the subject have evolved since the days of Max Weber."

David A. Bell, Director of the Davis Center for Historical Studies, Department of History, Princeton University, US
