Books by Katherine Tate

Focusing on the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), Katherine Tate studies the ways in which the US's most prominent group of black legislators has developed politically. Organised in 1971, the CBC set out to increase the influence of black legislators. Tate argues, their incorporation is transforming their policy preferences.

The struggle for civil rights among black Americans has moved into the voting booth. How such a shift came about-and what it means-is revealed in this timely reflection on black presidential politics. It will benefit those who wish to understand better the subtle interplay of race and politics, at the voting booth and beyond.

Based on analysis of public opinion data since the 1970s, this title examines how Black opinions on welfare, affirmative action, crime control, school vouchers, civil rights for other minorities, immigration, the environment, and US foreign policy have changed.
