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.

Minor Feelings 下載 mobi epub pdf 電子書##把Asian American的minor feelings寫得非常好,又沉重又警醒,中間有兩節太artsy的不是很喜歡,其他都非常好。Asian American在美國真是主動隱身的人群,不被重視,找不到自己的聲音,也沒有其他人願意聽。
評分##真的是要在隱形白人特權的規則裏撕齣一道長口 讓血流齣來 讓憤怒流齣來的閱讀感 直白的憤怒 不加掩飾的憎恨 有好幾次都必須要停一停 纔能接著讀下去 亞裔和非裔的情況不同 曆史 文化都讓亞裔成為瞭隱形邊緣人 但和大多數種族平權一樣 當我們把許多問題的癥結都歸為種族難道就一定對嗎
