Faces of Inequality - Social Diversity in American Politics

Zusatztext A valuable beginning which largely succeeds in its aim of shedding much needed light on the role of social diversity in American state politics. Klappentext "This is a provocative and important book that provides a new prism through which to view both state politics and public policy in America."--Paula D. McClain! University of Virginia. "This is a most exciting new book on state politics. . . . It offers fresh perspectives on standard treatments of state politics and is extraordinary well-researched. It is both a comprehensive survey of the field of American state politics and a fresh theoretical primer for understanding state policy dynamics."--Robert B. Albritton! Northern Illinois University. Zusammenfassung Contending that a state's racial and ethnic composition, more than any other factor, directs its political processes and policies, this text argues that social diversity is therefore central to any understanding of state political cultures.
