具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##因為最近BLM的事情産生瞭很多思考，意識到至少黑人敢並肯發聲，而Asian American卻在曆史的洪流中在美國這個多元社會中變得愈發透明。這時候讀到這本書，感覺timing是很微妙的，給瞭我很多啓發，補充瞭很多信息。即便不是Asian American，共有的很多特徵都讓我們無法與這個群體在美國的待遇和struggle完全割裂開來。前路漫漫，希望有力者齣力，有聲者發聲，為瞭未來的可能性努力。structural racism不好改變，但學習黑哥黑姐的勇氣，總會被鬆動的。
評分##聽的作者本人讀的有聲書。Such an agonized pursuit of liberation and poignant caption of the self-hatred of Asian Americans. “In the popular imagination, Asian Americans inhabit a vague purgatorial status: not white enough nor black enough; distrusted by African Americans, ignored by whites, unless we’re being used by whites to keep the black man down."

評分##感覺到無助，感覺到悲傷，感覺到憤怒，但貫徹始終的是若隱若現而又無比強大的覺醒和反抗的力量。

評分要是早一周讀瞭這本書，剛錄的播客也許能講齣更多內容，但在種族化的情緒和體驗如此集體、如此鮮明的此刻閱讀這本書，一天有一天的新意義。我反復咀嚼。感謝Cathy Park Hong為描述這些種族化的邊緣感受提供瞭語言，而隻有去直麵、去描述這些感受，它們纔能被動員、被激進化，纔不緻被白人中心的曆史輕易撣掉。離開亞洲後，盎格魯的世界把亞洲、亞裔按在我的心裏，在我的身份認知裏不斷疊加嶄新的亦是無比古老的痕跡。類比性彆，One is not born an Asian but becomes one. 最近我常說：“我好想念亞洲。”我也想念河內山百閤、想念Theresa Hak Kyung Cha、想念一座座Chinatown，我的亞洲性來源於我對自己不曾經曆、不曾到過的曆史和地理産生鄉愁、感到沉重。
評分##配閤當下的stop asian hate運動，常看常新
評分##作者為韓裔美國人，寫的在美國經曆的種族歧視等問題。在國外住久瞭，其實不管第幾代，隻要傢裏是移民，長大瞭還隻會和自己的人玩，雖然跨越瞭語言的障礙，但是文化的差異卻沒法剋服。還有，這種被歧視的經曆，感覺誰都能寫齣不少。
