Cathy Park Hong is the author of three poetry collections including Dance Dance Revolution, chosen by Adrienne Rich for the Barnard Women Poets Prize, and Engine Empire. Hong is a recipient of the Windham-Campbell Literature Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. Her poems have been published in Poetry, The New York Times, The Paris Review, McSweeney’s, Boston Review, and other journals. She is the poetry editor of The New Republic and full professor at the Rutgers University–Newark MFA program in poetry.
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.

圖書標籤: 美國 亞裔 essay 2020s 英文 散文集 聽書 DIASPORA
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
評分“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?”
評分每位在美華人都應該好好讀一下這本書。作者文筆犀利,措辭清晰,看得又難過,但是同時也十分痛快。
評分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.”
