Overview
Born a Crime is Trevor Noah’s gripping and humorous memoir detailing his experiences growing up mixed-race in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa. With wit and raw honesty, he recounts his youth, navigating complex identities and systemic injustice, while celebrating the strength of his fiercely devoted mother.
Each chapter delivers a compelling mix of personal anecdotes and social commentary that shed light on race, class, and culture in a rapidly changing society. It’s both entertaining and thought-provoking, offering a deeply human look into life under oppression—and the resilience required to overcome it.
