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. These
resources may be found online at the book’s website:

While this new edition will include key political developments over
the last few years, California politics remains affected by the
diverse and hyperpluralistic nature of the state itself,
particularly its people and the groups to which they belong.
Although political leadership is central to governing, the authors
continue to explain California politics through the dual lenses of
diversity and a variant of pluralism they call hyperpluralism. In
all nine editions, the authors have tried to show two things: (1)
how demographic, cultural, economic, geographic, and political
diversity affect how politics actually works in California, and (2)
how the exceedingly pluralistic nature of the state results in a
highly competitive tug-of-war between ideologies, institutions,
policymakers, political parties, interest groups , and voters.
