Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah

emotional funny informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.5

This is a must-read by anyone interested in learning more about apartheid and the world at large. Trevor Noah walks us through the pivotal points of his life growing up after the official end of apartheid. I learned so much about the Black South African way of life and the aftermath of apartheid. Noah explains why things were the way they were, how people interacted with each other and how cultures combined. I laughed many times as he explained situations (mostly where he was getting into trouble) and felt strongly that his mother was an amazing woman.
