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
##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##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##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##關於種族、亞裔經驗、identity politics 2.0, 非常推薦。An Education那一章好喜歡。Portrait of an Artist那一章chilling而動容。

評分##配閤當下的stop asian hate運動，常看常新

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
