About this listen

In this episode, Clare speaks with Sonia Murr about Trevor Noah's memoir, 'Born A Crime'. The text is a wild ride, careering from absolutely hilarious to gut-wrenchingly heart-breaking in the turn of a page, and it provides a unique vantage point to interrogate the impacts of apartheid in South Africa. Sonia's reflections and insights into the novel are thoughtful and considered, especially around political correctness and engaging with this text meaningfully in a classroom.

If you are interested in reading more of Sonia's insights, she is the author of the VATE teaching notes, available for download here: https://www.vate.org.au/shop/inside-stories/born-crime-vate-inside-stories-2023-pdf
