«La stupidità del razzismo si combatte con l''ironia.» Marco Aime «Un''avventura umana intensa.» Fabio Geda «La strepitosa storia di Trevor Noah.» Gad Lerner «Una immensa storia d''amore filiale. » Alberto Rollo Nato nel Sudafrica dell’apartheid da madre xhosa e padre bianco, Trevor è colored: né bianco né nero, un’anomalia intollerabile per il rigido sistema razziale sudafricano. Destinato fin dalla nascita a un’esistenza “fuori legge”, Trevor se la cava splendidamente poiché la sua infanzia, spericolata e indimenticabile, è orchestrata da una madre più potente del tuono: Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah, un magma di contraddizioni stupendamente africane. È bigotta e ribelle, severa e anticonformista, e soprattutto ha fiducia nel fatto che tutto è possibile, di qualsiasi colore sia la tua pelle, l’importante è andare a scuola, imparare l’inglese, fare quello che si pensa sia giusto e rifiutare le leggi sbagliate e illogiche inventate dagli uomini. Ragazzino impacciato di fronte alle prime esperienze sentimentali, poi esperto di pirateria musicale e organizzatore di rumorose feste clandestine nelle townships di Johannesburg, Trevor ripercorre la sua vicenda senza alcuna retorica, sempre sul filo di un’irresistibile vena ironica che lo affranca dal ruolo di vittima e rende il suo racconto più forte di qualsiasi denuncia. Non teorizza nulla, mostra sé stesso, il “bastardo”: la sua mescolanza razziale sfida l’ingiustizia del sistema e ne mette in luce l''insostenibilità e incoerenza. Mescolarsi è la vera rivoluzione e questa storia esplosiva e “fuori legge” ne è la prova. L’aspettavamo da tempo.

Pour conserver son pouvoir face à la majorité noire qui augmentait et se révoltait, le gouvernement a chargé une commission d''aller enquêter sur le racisme institutionnel dans le monde entier. En Australie, aux Pays-Bas, aux États-Unis, ses membres ont observé ce qui était efficace et ce qui ne l’était pas. De retour en Afrique du Sud, ils ont élaboré le système d’oppression raciste le plus extrême que l’humanité ait jamais connu.Trevor Noah naît en 1984 à Johannesbourg d''une mère noire et d''un père blanc. Sous l''apartheid, qui interdit les relations interraciales, son existence même est déjà un crime. Malgré le racisme et la violence qui l''entourent, il multipliera les subterfuges afin de mener une vie libre... et drôle. Né en 1984 d''une mère noire et d''un père blanc, sous l''apartheid qui divisait encore l''Afrique du sud, Trevor Noah est un crime du fait même d''exister. Sa mère choisit de le faire passer pour un coloured, une ethnie autorisée dont la couleur de peau est proche des métis. Émigré à Los Angeles, il rejoint le programme télévisé The Daily Show en 2014, dont il prend rapidement la direction. Le New York Times le cite en 2018 dans sa liste des "100 personnes les plus influentes du monde".

"Trevor Noah grew up in South Africa with a black South African mother and a white Swiss father at a time when it was against the law for a mixed race child to exist. But Trevor did exist. In Born a crime, Trevor shares what his life was like growing up. The stories he tells in this book will make you laugh, cry and fill you with wonder and inspirations as you learn how this mischievous young boy used his quick wits and humour to get through his day-to-day life. Against all odds and with his mother''s unfailing love and belief in him. Trevor overcame many obstacles to create a promising future for himself"--Back cover.

As organizations continue to flatten their structure and leverage teams for the completion of complex work projects, contributions of evidence to illuminate what makes teams effective and profitable are becoming increasingly valuable for organizational stakeholders. The majority of past researchers have focused on the performance of teams as an indicator of their success. However, there are other indicators of team effectiveness that have been understudied relative to team task performance, namely team viability. Team viability reflects the extent that members of a team will desire to continue working together in the future. When individuals have negative team experiences, they are likely to disband from the team, resulting in turnover that can be costly to the organization. Trust is one factor that is argued to have a substantial influence on team viability. Thus, the current study first sought to examine team level inputs and mediators that can be used to predict the extent that team members will desire to continue working together on future projects. As a secondary goal, this study also sought to answer recent calls to investigate antecedents, outcomes, and emergence trajectories of shared leadership in teams. Past literature has suggested that robust leadership may be the strongest predictor of team performance, and more recent meta-analytic reviews have found that shared leadership predicts team performance above and beyond traditional hierarchical leadership. A comprehensive review of the literature revealed that a relatively understudied construct, socialized motivation for power, may be likely to have predictive value in assessing the degree to which influence of a team is shared among its members, and the extent that team members will wish to continue working together beyond their current performance episode. Using archival data, a series of multiple regression, and mediated regression models were used to test hypotheses. The results demonstrated that team-level socialized power motivation was a significant predictor of team trust, shared leadership, and latent changes in shared leadership. Additionally, an indirect effect of team socialized power motivation on team viability through shared leadership was supported, although the indirect effect through team trust was not. The study provides valuable implications for practice and a framework for future research investigating team-level relationships.
