Trevor
Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The
Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a
white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union
was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’
indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of
his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took
to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him
away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white
rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living
openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a
centuries-long struggle.
Born a Crime is the story of a
mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he
struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to
exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his
fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a
woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence,
and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.
