Books by Linda Tate

Power in the Blood: A Family Narrative traces Linda Tate's journey to rediscover the Cherokee-Appalachian branch of her family and provides an unflinching examination of the poverty, discrimination, and family violence that marked their lives.

Concentrating on the generation of women writers who came of age in the post-World War II South, this work considers the ways in which the women writers of the present generation reflect, expand, transform and redefine the notions of regional culture and womanhood.
