“Now I am Civilized!” is the satirical reverie of an alert, close-observing, young Negro cook, who after years of domestic service in the homes of the “cultured” has commanded a parrot-like fluency of English.  Our hero enters through the back door, peers over his cook pots and, in his own delightful language and individual style, writes down everything he has seen and heard.  (from the author’s note)
