In certain kinds of history classes, ‘Great Men’ were people who ‘created history’—in the way that sports reporters talk of cricketers and footballers ‘making history’ when their scores or feats exceed the norm. Traditional views of Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Winston Churchill stem from this mode of understanding history. Yet there is another, diametrically opposed view which would suggest that when times and circumstances demand it, a leader emerges. Wat Tyler, Martin Luther King, and the leaders of the Mau Rebellion might be seen as such leaders.Open Access. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/4701 Communication and Media Studies4702 Cultural Studies46 Information and Computing Sciences47 Language, Communication and Culture4610 Library and Information Studies0807 Library and Information Studies2001 Communication and Media Studies2002 Cultural StudiesOther Form of Assessable OutputOpenAccess10.46786/ac21.9916
