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
##Asian American Women’s Stories
評分##這本書勇敢，憤怒，金句迭齣。我有種當作者心理醫生的感覺。後三分之一迴憶的部分略流水賬，讓我有點分心，扣一星。
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。
評分##We need potent voices like this. Stop living your fucking model minority hallucinations. Recommended by The New Yorker

評分##每一個字母都在呐喊，每一個單詞都在燃燒，有時甚至會讀到喘不過氣來。我一度因為“用身份做文章是沒有創造力、懦弱的錶現”這樣的指責而迷茫無措，但identity politics就是房間裏的大象，隱形纔是一種特權。
評分##天啊，這書太對我胃口瞭。好久沒有這麼認真地一字一句地讀一本英文書瞭，可能因為每天被要求讀太多的英文文獻，所以再不想認真地讀英文小說。這本書，從開頭那神經質式的騷動，就開始吸引著我一路嚮下，如果說前四章隻是讓我頗有共鳴，從education一章開始，我就開始不斷反省自己的人生，而關於Theresa Hak Kyung Cha那被忽略的奸殺，讓我不禁毛骨悚然，又開始去思考為什麼過去這麼多年瞭，Asian Women的境遇依舊如此驚人地相似，臨結尾處的通靈又像是一種復仇，雞皮疙瘩全起，但又覺得隱隱地想捶牆。最後一章是更加強烈的宣言，什麼感謝，根本就是一堆的欠賬，但是，白人性如此內化的當下，要怎麼繼續走下去呢？謝謝Cathy錶達的所有憤怒，謝謝她給我帶來的反省和思考，一旦知道，就無法迴頭瞭。
