About the book
The autobiography of comedian and host Trevor Noah, which narrates his childhood in South Africa during apartheid. The son of a Swiss father and a Xhosa mother, Noah grew up in a context of extreme racial segregation, where his very existence was technically illegal. With humor and sensitivity, he recounts his mother's creative strategies to protect him, his experiences of discrimination and how he found freedom through comedy.
The book offers a unique portrait of apartheid seen through a child's eyes, alternating between hilarious moments and deep reflections on race, identity and resilience. A story of survival and hope that transcends the borders of South African history.
