《书目》(Booklist)书评
"English Only" and anti-immigration folks won't like it, but readers who hope with Rodney King that we can "all just get along" will want to learn what Dresser--the Los Angeles Times' "Multicultural Manners" columnist--has to teach. We don't all speak the same language or have the same cultural assumptions; even caring, thoughtful people offend others unintentionally. Dresser's longest section--on communication--addresses a broad range of issues: body language, child-rearing practices, classroom behavior, clothing, colors, gifts, luck and supernatural forces, foodways, male-female relations, prejudice, time, and verbal expressions. Shorter chapters discuss holidays and worship and health issues in terms of specific ethnic groups and religious denominations. A longtime college ESL teacher, Dresser views her subject as a folklorist or anthropologist, seeking to inform rather than to make judgments; her style is lively and anecdotal. Given Los Angeles' demographics, Dresser focuses on more recent immigrants, particularly those from Asia and Latin America, rather than on groups that have been in the U.S. for generations. Her advice will help businesspeople, teachers, neighbors--anyone who recognizes the value of knowing about and respecting others' cultures. --Mary Carroll
