Abstract	In his classic sociological analysis The Power Elite, published in 1956, sociologist C. Wright Mills depicted a group of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant men who ran the corporate, political and military elites in the United States. This article looks at this power elite 40 years later to consider the extent to which diversity has occurred. Each of these three institutions (the corporate, the political, and the military) is examined to see if jews, women, African-Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and homosexuals have penetrated into the highest circles. The patterns that appear across all categories of newcomers are discussed, as is the extent to which the arrival of some newcomers has led to changes in the behavior of the power elite.Dans son analyse sociologique classique, The Power Elite, publiée en 1956, le sociologue C. Wright Mills décrivait un groupe d'hommes blancs anglo-saxons protestants qui dirigeaient les élites politique, militaire et celle des entreprises aux États-Unis. L'auteur examine cette élite du pouvoir quarante ans après pour voir dans quelle mesure la diversité s'est installée. Chacune des trois institutions (les entreprises, le politique et le militaire) est examinée pour voir si les juifs, les femmes, les Afro-américains, les Latinos, les Américains asiatiques et les homosexuels ont pénétré dans les cercles les plus élevés. Les profils qui apparaissent dans toutes les catégories de nouveaux venus sont analysés de même que la mesure dans laquelle l'arrivée de certains nouveaux venus apporte des changements dans le comportement de l'élite du pouvoir.
