具体描述
Poet and essayist Cathy Park Hong fearlessly and provocatively blends memoir, cultural criticism, and history to expose fresh truths about racialized consciousness in America. Part memoir and part cultural criticism, this collection is vulnerable, humorous, and provocative—and its relentless and riveting pursuit of vital questions around family and friendship, art and politics, identity and individuality, will change the way you think about our world.
Binding these essays together is Hong’s theory of “minor feelings.” As the daughter of Korean immigrants, Cathy Park Hong grew up steeped in shame, suspicion, and melancholy. She would later understand that these “minor feelings” occur when American optimism contradicts your own reality—when you believe the lies you’re told about your own racial identity. Minor feelings are not small, they’re dissonant—and in their tension Hong finds the key to the questions that haunt her.
With sly humor and a poet’s searching mind, Hong uses her own story as a portal into a deeper examination of racial consciousness in America today. This intimate and devastating book traces her relationship to the English language, to shame and depression, to poetry and female friendship. A radically honest work of art, Minor Feelings forms a portrait of one Asian American psyche—and of a writer’s search to both uncover and speak the truth.
用户评价
##inspired and encouraged by Hong's book. | 当我们说“英语语境中需要更多亚裔作者/导演”时，所指的并不只是Celeste Ng或是Jhumpa Lahiri，甚至都不只是Ocean Vuong和Ted Chiang，我们也迫切需要Kochiyama和今天的Hong这样的声音 - 冷静、大胆、又坦诚。 | 话说回来，读到作者在Oberlin的求学经历之前，我从未有勇气认真考虑过，对于拥有足够特权去全身心投入文理教育的幸运的人来说， 大学所能提供的可以美好到多不真实的地步。我大学毕业几年才知道Judith Butler就在伯克利教书，而过去十年在neoliberal ethos和late-capitalism的阴影下所错过的或是挥霍的，不敢深究。
评分##Asian American Women’s Stories
评分##这本书勇敢，愤怒，金句迭出。我有种当作者心理医生的感觉。后三分之一回忆的部分略流水账，让我有点分心，扣一星。
评分##作者为韩裔美国人，写的在美国经历的种族歧视等问题。在国外住久了，其实不管第几代，只要家里是移民，长大了还只会和自己的人玩，虽然跨越了语言的障碍，但是文化的差异却没法克服。还有，这种被歧视的经历，感觉谁都能写出不少。
