A newly revised modern manual of manners and etiquette that has become an African American classic.
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.

The New Basic Black
Thank you baby-boomers, for completely fucking up any progress you made towards social liberation in the 60s. Now you're all divorced and addicted to benzodiazepenes, your kids hate you and you need a Prius plus a loft on 20th and Florida to ease the cognitive dissonance generated by the fact you sold out and will die very, very soon. Scary innit?
Nah, but I got love. All I'm saying is us post-generation X'ers have to start all over again to define a rebellious generation. We grew up on ritalin, super-mario brothers and the internet. Fertile ground for over-educated, underpaid thrill addicts with the attention span of a drosophila. Furthermore, having shit like Max Hardcore and tubgirl as our primary introduction to sexuality has made for some questionable moral etiquette when it comes to summoning the stork.
In spite of all this, we get by. The Modern Gentleman is a manifesto which sets to re-define virility and charm for lads like us. This isn't the regular "etiquette" book which orders banal gallantries like keeping elbows off the table, buy her drinks and bring her back before midnight; nor is it some creepy Speed Seduction coursebook on nailing MILFs via hypnosis...Instead, it elegantly chronicles the recipe for the modern man: One part charmer, two parts lush, 100% Dandy. For anyone looking to add a little variety to their etiquette, or simply in need of some original drink recipes...You really can't go wrong either way.
