REAL MANNERS FOR REAL LIFE Etiquette is more than
knowing which fork to use. Good manners are the rules that
let us find our way in today's rapidly changing maze of
lifestyles, customs, and relationships. Anyone who doesn't
know these rules is living and working at a real
disadvantage. In How to Be, noted author and
editor Harriette Cole treats manners as a resource for the
empowerment of people of African descent. She offers
guidance drawn from the tried-and-true experience and wisdom
of our African-American elders, as well as from European
mainstream traditions in many areas of life, including:
Family -- immediate, extended, and blended
New codes of dating, love, and sex Entertaining
family, friends, and coworkers in both casual and formal
settings Workplace issues -- from how to resign to
what to wear on casual Fridays Rites of passage,
including weddings and funerals Holiday celebrations
like Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Juneteenth and much more
