“Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood” is a memoir by Trevor Noah, the popular comedian and host of “The Daily Show.” The book chronicles Noah’s life growing up in apartheid-era South Africa as the son of a black mother and a white father. Given that interracial relationships were illegal at the time, Noah’s very existence was evidence of a crime, hence the title. Through a series of personal anecdotes, Noah delves into the complexities of race, poverty, and identity in South Africa, all delivered with his signature wit and humor. The memoir provides a unique perspective on the challenges of navigating a world where he never quite fit in, while also shedding light on the broader social and political issues of the time.
