Wonderfully poignant and humorous memoir by comedian and Daily Show presenter Trevor Noah. They give a good picture of what it was like for him to grow up in South Africa as a son of a black mother and a white father.
Some quotes:
People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” What they don’t say is, “And it would be nice if you gave him a fishing rod.” That’s the part of the analogy that’s missing.
We live in a world where we don’t see the ramifications of what we do to others because we don’t live with them. It would be a whole lot harder for an investment banker to rip off people with subprime mortgages if he actually had to live with the people he was ripping off.
If we could see one another’s pain and empathize with one another, it would never be worth it to us to commit the crimes in the first place.
This book will travel onwards in the Afrika boekendoos.

I think I read this, but the African bookbox was too heavy, so I took this book out...
