3.0

Reflecting on her experiences as an Asian American writer in mostly white American spaces, Cathy Park Hong details her journey through academia in "Minor Feelings". For a book that discusses Asian Americanness in such candid, frank manner, I found it really curious how Hong frames her discussion, how she doesn't address the radical origins of "Asian American" until the final page or two. It's an okay read. I was most moved by the essay on Theresa Hak Kyung Cha!
