Why You Should Read Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

The title of the book is literal. Under the Apartheid laws of South Africa, Trevor’s birth was a criminal act. Born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, his very existence was proof of a crime punishable by imprisonment. As a mixed-race child, or “colored,” he did not fit into any specific group. He had to be hidden away for much of his early childhood to protect his family from the police.

Born a Crime by Trevor Noah tells the story of this young boy growing up in a world that wasn’t designed for him. It chronicles his journey from a mischievous child in Soweto to a young man hustling selling CDs in Alexandra, and finally to the beginning of his career as a comedian.

Key Themes in the Book

When you read Born a Crime by Trevor Noah, you will encounter several powerful themes:

1. A Mother’s Love: Above all, this is a tribute to Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah. She is a fierce, deeply religious, and rebellious woman who refused to let the Apartheid system define her son’s future. Their relationship is the heartbeat of the story.

2. Language as a Tool: Trevor describes himself as a “chameleon.” He learned to speak English, Xhosa, Zulu, Tswana, Tsonga, and Afrikaans. He used language to navigate between groups that would otherwise exclude him.

3. The Absurdity of Racism: With the wit that made him the host of The Daily Show, Noah exposes the logical failures of racism. He shows how arbitrary and ridiculous the Apartheid laws truly were, using humor to disarm the pain of the past.
