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 economyDiscussion of the 2021 gubernatorial recallUpdated analysis of the state's major policy areas, including water, housing, transportation, health care, education, crime, immigration, and climate changeChanges in demographics and voter turnout in 2022 general electionUpdated and expanded pedagogy and art programJeff Cummins has provided a revised instructor's manual, test bank, and new lecture slides.
