- Summary
- "In the wake of 9/11, confronting race relations in American is as daunting as it is necessary. Race Manners shows us how we can begin a civilized, meaningful dialogue-not with evasive abstractions, but with practicality and candor. The second edition, completely revised and updated, is a guide to improving race relations."--From source other than the Library of Congress
