Born a Crime

Some laws are meant to be broken—but some stories are meant to be told.

Trevor Noah’s childhood under apartheid in South Africa was anything but ordinary. Born to a Black mother and a white father at a time when such a union was illegal, Noah navigated a world defined by racial division, poverty, and absurdity. Through a series of vivid, often hilarious stories, he reveals how resilience, resourcefulness, and a sharp sense of humor allowed him to survive and thrive in a society built on inequality.

Noah balances laughter and heartbreak effortlessly. Each anecdote from mischievous adventures to the harsh realities of growing up under apartheid illuminates larger truths about race, identity, family, and the human spirit. His voice is candid, witty, and deeply personal, making readers laugh while also provoking reflection on injustice, perseverance, and hope.

Both entertaining and profoundly moving, Born a Crime is a memoir that celebrates survival, ingenuity, and the power of storytelling. It reminds us that even in the darkest times, humor and resilience can light the way.
