Abstract

Anthropology tends not to be associated with the study of elites, notwithstanding that investigating elites ethnographically has much to contribute to our understanding of power. To facilitate this pursuit, however, a good understanding of who can be defined as members of an elite is helpful. A narrow group of only those persons directly in command, or a wider group including, for example, the elite's family members? By means of investigating the Franco-Mauritians, the white elite of the island of Mauritius, this article aims to explain why it matters to pay attention to the differences between narrower and broader definitions.
