Trevor Noah's "Born a Crime" (ISBN: 978-1473635302) and Abi Daré's "The Girl With the Louding Voice" (978-1529359275) People could survive perfectly well without books, but reading may well be one of the most satisfying human experiences.
This semester we will be reading two international bestsellers: “Born a Crime” by South African comedian Trevor Noah, a fascinating memoir about growing up in apartheid as the son of a black mother and a white father. "The Girl With the Louding Voice" by Abi Daré is the powerful story of a Nigerian girl forced to become a maid but determined to get education. No need to have read the books before the course begins.
