This work examines the theory and practice of social movement leadership, past and present. Despite the explosion in social movement research in Europe and the United States in the last 20 years, the question of leadership has been relatively neglected. Why does leadership matter so much to social movement success and failure? Must leadership imply oligarchy and the weakening of movement democracy or is leadership compatible with popular self-emancipation? Can social movements dispense with leadership altogether by creating leaderless cultures? These questions are examined in this title.
