 ng fearlessly and provocatively blends memoir\, cultural criticism\, and h
 istory to expose fresh truths about racialized consciousness in America. P
 art memoir and part cultural criticism\, this collection is vulnerable\, h
 umorous\, and provocative&mdash\;and its relentless and riveting pursuit o
 f vital questions around family and friendship\, art and politics\, identi
 ty and individuality\, will change the way you think about our world.</p>\
 n<p>Binding these essays together is Hong&rsquo\;s theory of &ldquo\;minor
  feelings.&rdquo\; As the daughter of Korean immigrants\, Cathy Park Hong 
 grew up steeped in shame\, suspicion\, and melancholy. She would later und
 erstand that these &ldquo\;minor feelings&rdquo\; occur when American opti
 mism contradicts your own reality&mdash\;when you believe the lies you&rsq
 uo\;re told about your own racial identity. Minor feelings are not small\,
  they&rsquo\;re dissonant&mdash\;and in their tension\, Hong finds the key
  to the questions that haunt her.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>With sly humor and a poet
 &rsquo\;s searching mind\, Hong uses her own story as a portal into a deep
 er examination of racial consciousness in America today. This intimate and
  devastating book traces her relationship to the English language\, to sha
 me and depression\, to poetry and female friendship. A radically honest wo
 rk of art\, "Minor Feelings" forms a portrait of one Asian American psyche
 &mdash\;and of a writer&rsquo\;s search to both uncover and speak the trut
 h.</p>\nhttps://pgcmls.libnet.info/event/7814643
