(IN GREAT CONDITION. UNREAD COPY. MINOR SHELFWEAR OF DUSTJACKET) Industry Reviews: To some it's "etiquette" or "socialization," but to many African Americans it's "Home Training" instruction in accepted mores and values. This tradition has not been explored in other etiquette books, but here the job is undertaken "the way our grandmothers, mothers and aunts have taught us for centuries." Bates (a contributing columnist to the Los Angeles Times) and Hudson (Paul R. Williams, Architect, LJ 1/94) address not only those good manners that are universal but also unique African American observances and the delicate art of being both polite and assertive in response to unacceptable treatment or thoughtless remarks.
