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.

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##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。
