While on a drive in Los Angeles, on a seemingly average afternoon, Kerry Washington received a text message that would send her on a life-changing journey of self-discovery. In an instant, her very identity was torn apart, with everything she thought she knew about herself thrown into question.In Thicker than Water, Washington gives readers an intimate view into both her public and private worlds - as a mother, daughter, wife, artist, advocate, and trailblazer. Chronicling her upbringing and life's journey thus far, she reveals how she faced a series of challenges and setbacks, effectively hid childhood traumas, met extraordinary mentors, managed to grow her career and crossed the threshold into stardom and political advocacy, ultimately discovering her truest self and, with it a deeper sense of belonging. Throughout this profoundly moving and beautifully written memoir, Washington attempts to answer the questions so many have struggled with: Who am I? What is my truest and most authentic self? How do I find a deeper sense of connection and belonging? With grace and honesty, she inspires readers to search for - and find - themselves.

Born a Crime - Als Verbrechen geboren
Trevor Noah kam 1984 im Township Soweto als Sohn einer Xhosa und eines Schweizers zur Welt. Zu einer Zeit, da das südafrikanische Apartheidsregime "gemischtrassige" Beziehungen weiterhin unter Strafe stellte. Als Kind, das es nicht geben durfte, erlebte er Armut und systematischen Rassismus, aber auch die mutige Auflehnung seiner Eltern, die einfallsreich versuchten, Trennungen zwischen Ethnien und Geschlechtern zu überwinden. Heute ist er ein international gefeierter Comedian, der jahrelang die legendäre The Daily Show in den USA hostete und weltweit - ob Sydney, Dubai, Toronto, San Francisco oder Berlin - in ausverkauften Sälen auftritt. In »Born A Crime - Als Verbrechen geboren« erzählt Trevor Noah - »das größte internationale Comedy-Talent seit Jahren« ( Die Zeit ) ebenso feinsinnig wie komisch in achtzehn Geschichten von seinem Aufwachsen in Südafrika, das den ganzen Aberwitz der Apartheid bündelt: warum ihn seine Mutter aus einem fahrenden Minibus warf, um Gottes Willen zu erfüllen, welche Musik er für einen tanzenden Hitler aufzulegen pflegte, um sein erstes Geld zu verdienen, und wie ihn eine Überwachungskamera, die nicht einmal zwischen Schwarz und Weiß unterscheiden konnte, vor dem Gefängnis bewahrte. "Er ist ein außerordentliches Talent, ein großartiger Geschichtenerzähler." (Der Spiegel) "Das größte internationale Comedy-Talent seit Jahren" (Die Zeit) erzählt von seiner Kindheit in den Townships Die Absurditäten der Apartheid und der Humor als Waffe Gesellschaftskritisch, pointiert - und unglaublich komisch

Born a Crime
Von Geburt an galt Trevor Noah in Südafrika zur Zeit der Apartheid als Außenseiter: Als Sohn einer Schwarzen Mutter und eines Weißen Vaters erlebte er staatliche Diskriminierung und alltäglichen Rassismus. Zugleich stand er vor der Herausforderung, im Spannungsfeld der unterschiedlichen Ethnien, Sprachen und Kulturen seine eigene Identität zu finden. Ebenso humorvoll wie authentisch berichtet Trevor Noah vom Alltag in den Townships, dem Aufwachsen in einem Land im Umbruch und der Lehre, die ihm seine Mutter mitgab - dass jeder das Recht und die Pflicht hat, sein Leben selbst in die Hand zu nehmen. Trevor Noah, heute Moderator der Daily Show, erzählt eine Geschichte der Hoffnung - seine eigene.

"La impresionante trayectoria de Trevor Noah, desde su infancia en Sudâafrica durante el apartheid hasta el escritorio de The Daily Show, comenzâo con un acto criminal: su nacimiento. Trevor naciâo de un padre suizo blanco y una madre Xhosa negra, en una âepoca de la historia sudafricana en que tal uniâon era castigada con cinco aänos de prisiâon. Como prueba viviente de la indiscreciâon de sus padres, Trevor permaneciâo los primeros aänos de su vida bajo el estricto resguardo de su madre, quien se veâia obligada a tomar medidas extremas--y, a veces, absurdas--para ocultar a Trevor de un gobierno que podrâia, en cualquier momento, llevâarselo.
