Unlike the more traditional etiquette books that many
African Americans may find stodgy, off-putting, and
culturally alien, The New Basic Black is for real people
who live real lives—and it addresses many of the issues of
a growing black middle class. Straightforward, user-
friendly, and illustrated with line drawings, The New Basic
Black includes all the information any well-mannered person
would want to know about the social rites of passage
(marriage, birth, christening, death), the corporate
workplace (standard work issues and the more delicate issue
of race and its impact on a work environment), various
occasions (having guests or being a guest at a summer home,
etc.), and everyday rules and rituals that make living in
hectic times a little easier. The revised edition of The
New Basic Black also contains the intricacies of Internet
etiquette, tips for travel in the post-9/11 age, and a
wealth of other invaluable information that will make life
more comfortable. For singles and families alike, The New Basic Black takes
the mystery out of conventional etiquette and will arm the
reader with confidence in any situation.
