Reviews

The most interesting book on California politics in decades, and the only volume that weaves together the state's constitutional origins and development with discerning accounts of its major political figures and contemporary policy issues. -- Charles Kesler, Claremont McKenna College The wide-ranging California Republic will provide a buffet for thought. A useful addition to the literature on state politics. Highly recommended. CHOICE California even now-when the supposed legatees of Progressivism denounce the idea of a gubernatorial recall-remains the land of golden promise, the Eureka! state. But its citizens, its leaders, its students, its observers sorely need a sober rendering of its history and its institutions. Brian P. Janiskee and Ken Masugi have delivered. If you care at all about the direction of this loveliest of states, then this book is critical to your understanding of a perplexing and wonderful land. -- Kenneth E. Grubbs, Jr., director, National Journalism Center
