Hoofmanskap

'n Hoofmanskap is 'n vorm van hiërargiese politieke organisasie in nie-industriële samelewings gewoonlik gebaseer op verwantskap, en waar formele leierskap monopoliseer word deur die wettige senior lede van geselekteerde gesinne of "huise". Hierdie elite vorm 'n politieke-ideologiese aristokrasie met betrekking tot die algemene groep.
