Partly because of complications resulting from access, scholars have tended to focus on groups affected by elite governance rather than on elites themselves. It is often overlooked that, in order to continue through time, elites have to empower new members. Choice has to be exercised over who achieves leadership, both by reference to the elite group itself and to the wider group over which it holds power. This book fills a gap in the current literature by providing the first rigorous interrogation of the choice and succession strategies of elites in various cultural contexts - from the transmission and preservation of financial power in urban contexts to the complex relation between subjectivity and the transmission of leadership positions in places as varied as the United States, Northern Italy and Lisbon. Various elite succession types are discussed, from self-avowedly 'traditional' leaders to the aristocracy, where choice is practically non-existent, to situations where leaders are elected from amongst a group of peers. The relationship between familial property and choice of successor in landholding families, small business enterprises, and peasant communities is also examined, as are ethnic monopolies. 606 $aSociology & Anthropology 606 $aantropologia da família 606 $aelite 606 $ahistória da família 606 $areprodução social 606 $aélite 606 $aanthropologie de la famille 606 $ahistoire de la famille 606 $areproduction sociale 606 $aanthropology of the family 606 $afamily history 606 $asocial reproduction 610 $aanthropology of the family 610 $aelite 610 $afamily history 610 $asocial reproduction 615 4$aSociology & Anthropology 615 4$aantropologia da família 615 4$aelite 615 4$ahistória da família 615 4$areprodução social 615 4$aélite 615 4$aanthropologie de la famille 615 4$ahistoire de la famille 615 4$areproduction sociale 615 4$aanthropology of the family 615 4$afamily history 615 4$asocial reproduction 700 $aBrempong$b Nana Arhin$01325465 701 $aE. Marcus$b George$01325466 701 $aHerzfeld$b Michael$0446542 701 $aLave$b Jean$066710 701 $aLentz$b Carola$01141431 701 $aLima$b Antónia Pedroso de$01288015 701 $aMonteiro$b Nuno Gonçalo$0777277 701 $aPina-cabral$b João De$01099695 701 $aSobral$b José Manuel$01325467 701 $aToren$b Christina$0974522 701 $aYanagisako$b Sylvia$01325468 701 $aCabral$b João de Pina$01295135 701 $aLima$b Antónia Pedroso de$01288015 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910306652303321 996 $aElites$93036904 997 $aUNINA
