Description: This text is intended for the required Texas government course taken by all students graduating from public colleges and universities in Texas. It is a brief, concise approach to the economy, cultural diversity, and the nature of the Texas people. The author incorporates the best, up-to-date scholarship in political science and history. A political economy focus allows students to see how politics and economics work in concert or opposition to forge Texas politics. The process of change in Texas government and politics receives special attention, while the cultural diversity of the state (populations, sizes, ethnicity, and distribution of wealth) is addressed through extended discussion.
