Reviews
California: The Politics of Diversity provides a framework to understand the perplexities of the state. Like many California politics textbooks, Lawrence and Cummins provide all the expected chapters, such as those on the executive, legislature, and judiciary, with an exceptional chapter on the budget. The effectiveness of the book is in how it contextualizes the politics of the golden state by using dual themes of diversity and theory and the policy chapters that provide concrete examples of how politics plays out in the largest state in the union., While it is often said that California is one of the world's most diverse democracies, this book gives concrete meaning to that characterization by exploring the ways in which diversity in our population, our economy, our geography, and our politics shapes our state. Centered around the cohesive theme of how California's diversity impacts its governance, policies, and its hyperpluralistic politics, the newest edition of Lawrence and Cummins's book will help students understand their state's history and its future., "While it is often said that California is one of the world's most diverse democracies, this book gives concrete meaning to that characterization by exploring the ways in which diversity in our population, our economy, our geography, and our politics shapes our state.

Synopsis
California: The Politics of Diversity examines the diverse and hyperpluralistic nature of California, particularly its people and the groups to which they belong. In their accessible style, Lawrence and Cummins bring an informed, insightful perspective to the examination of the numerous pressures that make governing the state increasingly challenging. Learning objectives and chapter conclusions offer students a roadmap to key ideas while study questions encourage critical thinking. Textboxes emphasize how California compares to the other states and highlight voices of prominent policymakers. No other textbook on California politics offers as much coverage and in-depth analysis of the state's political development and institutions that have shaped the Golden State into what it is today. The eleventh edition has been revised to reflect the latest developments in California politics, including: Coverage of the first term of Governor Gavin Newsom's administration Analysis of the impact of the COVID pandemic on the state's politics and economy Discussion of the 2021 gubernatorial recall Updated analysis of the state's major policy areas, including water, housing, transportation, health care, education, crime, immigration, and climate change Changes in demographics and voter turnout in 2022 general election Updated and expanded pedagogy and art program Jeff Cummins has provided a revised instructor's manual, test bank, and new lecture slides.
