Born a Crime

Stories From a South African Childhood

Very interesting and enlightening book about Trevor Noah's early life in South Africa. Eye-opening look at apartheid and the country's slow move out of it. Most interesting to Americans is that Trevor was not considered black nor white but "colored". While very young, he could not even go outside since his appearance implicated his parents in the crime of having sexual relations. Even older, he identified as black but did not fit in anywhere. I could not help but feel sorry for him sometimes but it appears he has turned out ok so far and his mother sounds like an amazing woman.
