Book Synopsis Manners Make a Nation by : Allison Kim Shutt
Download or read book Manners Make a Nation written by Allison Kim Shutt and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2015 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of how people struggled to define, reform, and overturn racial etiquette as a social guide for Southern Rhodesian politics. Underlying what appears to be a static history of racial etiquette is a dynamic narrative of anxieties over racial, gender, and generational status. From the outlawing of "insolence" toward officials to a last-ditch "courtesy campaign" in the early 1960s, white elites believed that their nimble use of racial etiquette would contain Africans' desire for social and political change. In turn, Africans mobilized around stories of racial humiliation. Allison Shutt's research provides a microhistory of the changing discourse about manners and respectability in Southern Rhodesia that by the 1950s had become central to fiercely contested political positions and nationalist tactics. Intense debates among Africans and whites alike over the deployment of courtesy and rudeness reveal the social-emotional tensions that contributed to political mobilization on the part of nationalists and the narrowing of options for the course of white politics. Drawing on public records, legal documents, and firsthand accounts, this first book-length history of manners in twentieth-century colonial Africa provides a compelling new model for understanding politics and culture through the prism of etiquette. Allison K. Shutt is professor of history at Hendrix College.

Download or read book Mr. Manners written by Anna Post and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mr. Manners: Lessons from Obama on Civility, author and etiquette maven Anna Post demonstrates that President Obama is more than our political leader--he's also a worthy role model when it comes to good manners. His intelligence and good looks notwithstanding, there's no doubt President Obama's courteousness played a significant role in his swift and historic rise to the highest office in the land. In Mr. Manners, Post breaks down the president's manners, from the slightest kind gesture to the grandest of considerate deeds, and shows how we can apply such thoughtfulness in our own daily lives. With photography capturing President Obama committing everyday acts of civility and complemented by Post's fun yet authoritative commentary, Mr. Manners graciously reinforces the case that Emily Post and her descendants have been making for decades: courtesy is in our nation's best interest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manners and Customs of the Principal Nations of the Globe Let us look a moment at the influence of climate. In a cold country, like that of New England, the ia clemency of the season, for six months in the year, compels the inhabitants, during the other six, to make provision for this period, by industry, frugality and providence. Necessity thus becomes the parent of these qualities: and it maybe Observed that while the habits of the people are thus drawn into the paths of virtue, the physical system is braced, the intellectual faculties stimulated, and the moral qualities elevated and ennobled.

Book Synopsis Domestic Manners of the Americans by : Frances Trollope
Download or read book Domestic Manners of the Americans written by Frances Trollope and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frances Trollope’s Domestic Manners of the Americans, complemented by Auguste Hervieu’s satiric illustrations, took the transatlantic world by storm in 1832. An unusual combination of realism, visual satire, and novelistic detail, Domestic Manners recounts Trollope’s three years as an Englishwoman living in America. Trollope makes the civility of an entire nation the subject of her keen scrutiny, a strategy that would earn her, in the words of the critic Michael Sadleir, “more anger and applause than almost any writer of her day.” Auguste Hervieu’s twenty-four original illustrations, placed and scaled as in the first edition, are included in this Broadview Edition, inviting readers to experience the original relationship of image and text.
