Minor Feelings

In 'Minor Feelings', Cathy Park Hong explores the concept of 'minor feelings'—the dissonant emotions that arise when American optimism contradicts one's own racialized reality.

The book is a deeply personal and provocative examination of racial identity, shame, depression, poetry, and female friendship.

It delves into the author's experiences as a daughter of Korean immigrants and her search to uncover and speak the truth about racialized consciousness in America today.
