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.

评分##把Asian American的minor feelings写得非常好，又沉重又警醒，中间有两节太artsy的不是很喜欢，其他都非常好。Asian American在美国真是主动隐身的人群，不被重视，找不到自己的声音，也没有其他人愿意听。
评分##Indebted but ungrateful
评分##关于种族、亚裔经验、identity politics 2.0, 非常推荐。An Education那一章好喜欢。Portrait of an Artist那一章chilling而动容。
评分##真的是要在隐形白人特权的规则里撕出一道长口 让血流出来 让愤怒流出来的阅读感 直白的愤怒 不加掩饰的憎恨 有好几次都必须要停一停 才能接着读下去 亚裔和非裔的情况不同 历史 文化都让亚裔成为了隐形边缘人 但和大多数种族平权一样 当我们把许多问题的症结都归为种族难道就一定对吗
评分##We need potent voices like this. Stop living your fucking model minority hallucinations. Recommended by The New Yorker
评分##Theresa Hak Kyung Cha 那篇真是好啊
评分##听的作者本人读的有声书。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."
