Identity, Memoir, Resilience, Apartheid
If you've ever felt like an outsider trying to navigate a world that wasn't built for you, this will illuminate how identity is fiercely forged in the margins, and this will help you see what to do next.
Trevor Noah's lived experience as a mixed-race child, literally "born a crime" under apartheid, grants him a singular, often humorous, perspective on identity, belonging, and the arbitrary nature of social divisions.
