Description
As a point-of-view text, AMERICA: THE POLITICS OF DIVERSITY organizes introductory American government material around the themes of diversity and hyperpluralism. Author David Lawrence examines how the diversity of the country, and, in particular, of the government, bears on American politics. He introduces American government through clear and lively discussions. The text is shorter and less expansive than most Introduction to American Government texts.
