From the publisher:
Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime is the compelling, darkly funny, and essential memoir of a boy born to a white Swiss father and a Black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was illegal in South Africa. Through vivid storytelling, Noah recounts his often absurd yet poignant experiences navigating a divided nation with humor and resilience. From being tossed out of a moving car by his mother to accidentally burning down a white family's house, the book captures his mischievous spirit and his mother’s unwavering faith and fierce love.
A powerful coming-of-age story, Born a Crime reveals the world that shaped one of the most perceptive and hilarious voices in global comedy. It is both a portrait of a nation in transition and a deeply personal exploration of identity, love, and survival.
