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.
This administration has plans to reopen a Japanese internment camp in Oklahoma to fill up with Latin American children. I used to wonder what happened to the internment camp survivors. Why did they disappear? Why didn’t they ever speak out? “We need to be the allies for vulnerable communities today that Japanese Americans didn’t have in 1942.”
评分作者是对白人统治的主流文化圈层、历史上的殖民统治、帝国主义是有多大的憎恨啊(甚至于把所有第三世界国家的危机全部归因于白人)。某种程度上,她确实代表了很多Asian American的心声,并且是这些minor feelings和inner struggles唯一的疏解渠道。我理解。但是换个视角去反思一下,其实中国有意思的在于,我们自己的确犯了很多的错误,这让我们有更多的空间真诚地反省自身,而不是把一切都责怪白人;再有,我们有一个自带的大受众群,也让我们的疏解不至于仍然只能被主流英语受众所接受。最近一直在想如何平衡两种语境——说不定,“找不同”是最好的方式。
评分inspired and encouraged by Hong's book. | 当我们说“英语语境中需要更多亚裔作者/导演”时,所指的并不只是Celeste Ng或是Jhumpa Lahiri,甚至都不只是Ocean Vuong和Ted Chiang,我们也迫切需要Kochiyama和今天的Hong这样的声音 - 冷静、大胆、又坦诚。 | 话说回来,读到作者在Oberlin的求学经历之前,我从未有勇气认真考虑过,对于拥有足够特权去全身心投入文理教育的幸运的人来说, 大学所能提供的可以美好到多不真实的地步。我大学毕业几年才知道Judith Butler就在伯克利教书,而过去十年在neoliberal ethos和late-capitalism的阴影下所错过的或是挥霍的,不敢深究。
评分“Capitalism as retribution for racism. But isn’t that how whiteness recruits us? Whether it’s through retribution or indebtedness, who are we when we become better than them in a system that destroyed us?”
