This book explores resilience, social capital and relationships of power in an examination of the manner in which capital can be converted from one form to another. Through a study of the survival of the Polish gentry, in spite of the communist regime's attempts to disempower and discredit them through land reform and high-profile trials, Patrons of History shows how the gentry managed not only to survive as a class, but also to remain influential. By revitalising older forms of cultural capital invested with education and transnational networks, the gentry were able to transform wealth, land, patronage, lifestyle and the ability to define patriotism and authorise a version of history, so as to ensure that noble heritage remained an advantageous resource in the face of communist opposition. Drawing on rich interview material spanning fifteen years, Patrons of History sheds light not only on communism as it existed and the stratification that persisted under such regimes, but also on the functioning of relationships of power and the ways in which privilege can be studied in the contemporary world. As such, this book will appeal to anthropologists, sociologists, ethnographers and historians interested in cultural and social capital, inequality and resistance.

Excerpt from Origin and Early History of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry in the United States Believing that earnest Patrons of Husbandry would be interested in perusing a history of the origin, and the early days, of our Order, I was constrained to prepare this little brochure and send it out on its mission of information, trusting that it would receive kindly consideration at the hands of the Grange fraternity. It makes no claim to literary merit or embellishment, nor does it undertake to give a history of the Order, or of the things accomplished by the Order, during all the years since its organization. It would take a volume of much larger dimensions to chronicle, even briefly, the things accomplished by the Grange in the farmers' interests. But it docs claim to give a concise, accurate and unembellished account of the foundation of the Grange and a somewhat detailed history of the first decade or so of its existence. In the preparation of the manuscript for this little History, I was kindly given access to all the original documents and the hundreds of letters written by the "Founders" of the Order, which are still in the possession of Brother O. H. Kelley of Washington, D. C., and to his "History of the Grange" I am indebted for much of the historical information herein presented. From other sources, particularly from those who were indirectly associated with the organization in its early years, much has been learned which I now pass along to Patrons of Husbandry everywhere, that they may know of the struggles and triumphs, the successes and failures, the hopes and fears of the founders of the Grange. May it not teach us still greater reverence for those who, in those early years, builded even better than they knew, and inspire in us all a loftier appreciation of the noble precepts of our beneficent Order!

An analysis of Italian Renaissance art from the perspective of the patrons who made 'conspicuous commissions', this text builds on three concepts from the economics of information - signaling, signposting, and stretching - to develop a systematic methodology for assessing the meaning of patronage.

To whom should we ascribe the great flowering of the arts in Renaissance Italy? Artists like Botticelli and Michelangelo? Or wealthy, discerning patrons like Cosimo de' Medici? In recent years, scholars have attributed great importance to the role played by patrons, arguing that some should even be regarded as artists in their own right. This approach receives sharp challenge in Jill Burke's Changing Patrons, a book that draws heavily upon the author's discoveries in Florentine archives, tracing the many profound transformations in patrons' relations to the visual world of fifteenth-century Florence. Looking closely at two of the city's upwardly mobile families, Burke demonstrates that they approached the visual arts from within a grid of social, political, and religious concerns. Art for them often served as a mediator of social difference and a potent means of signifying status and identity. Changing Patrons combines visual analysis with history and anthropology to propose new interpretations of the art created by, among others, Botticelli, Filippino Lippi, and Raphael. Genuinely interdisciplinary, the book also casts light on broad issues of identity, power relations, and the visual arts in Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance.
