Born a Crime

Trevor Noah’s book Born a Crime is touching, dramatic, funny, and moving. He was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother during a time when such a union was considered a crime in South Africa and punishable by five years in prison. This book describes his life’s journey from apartheid South Africa to the United States. Trevor is now known across the world as the host of The Daily Show. I listened to the audiobook version of Born a Crime, which is narrated by Trevor Noah himself and is immensely enjoyable. —Mike Olin, dean of advising and co-curricular programs
