Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning
In 'Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning,' Cathy Park Hong delves into the complex interplay of race, identity, and cultural belonging through a series of poignant essays that challenge conventional narratives. Hong fearlessly tackles the notion of 'minor feelings,' the racialized range of emotions experienced by Asian Americans, providing a raw and honest exploration of how stereotypes and biases shape their lived experiences. She delves into her personal journey, weaving together history, pop culture, and social commentary to offer a profound and thought-provoking reflection on what it means to be Asian American in a society marked by systemic racism and perpetual othering.
