Race and Partisanship in California Redistricting: From the 1965
Voting Rights Act to Present aims to study redistricting and its
evolution in California since the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights
Act. It poses the question: what is the interactive play of race
and partisanship in redefining the meaning of political
representation through redistricting? Unlike other studies of
redistricting, it focuses not on the south but on the west, not on
white versus black but on the difficulties of diversity. Race and
Partisanship in California Redistricting tells the story of
redistricting in California, which has now become one of the bluest
states and is considered a harbinger of political trends in the
United States. Ultimately, this is a book that looks forward by
looking back at the tug-and-pull of redistricting efforts aimed at
ensuring greater equality in a racially diverse democracy. What is
the role played by race and partisanship in the voting rights
revolution? How does that vary far from the traditional flashpoints
of American race relations? What does that tell us about the
redefinition of political representation in the past half-century?
And - most crucially - what does it foretell, for the next half
century?
