label on who the "elite" group would be I guess you would have to say the Miami family, who consist of Lazaro, Delfin, and the surrogate mother, who currently have custody of Elian. In this same instance I would have to say that the label of "subordinate" or disadvantaged would have to be placed on Juan Miguel, Elian's father, because he hasn't had any luck in trying to regain custody of his child and bring him back to Cuba. On a much larger scale the idea of subordinates and elites is one that the governments of both the United States and Cuba will control. It seems that overall the United States government with the help of some major players that include Attorney General Janet Reno and President Bill Clinton and the Cuban government with the help of their major player, Fidel Castro, are in control here and will have the final say in the matter. With this being said, it seems the title of overall subordinates could be placed on all the other major players in this lasting controversy. These others include the lawyers that are representing both parties, the immediate family that includes Juan Miguel and his uncle Manuel, the Miami family who currently has custody of Elian and refuses to give him up, and lastly Elian who will have to live with the decision that should be rendered sometime soon.
