Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong

5.0

A life changing book (truly in my top 5 books now) in reassurance in racial identity and feminist issues, specific and not, to Asian American women. This book went from personal experiences to poignant observations in race, trauma, gender, and sex and tied them together beautifully and satisfyingly. I believe anyone who reads this book would understand the experience as an Asian American woman much much better. Hong solidified so many feelings I have had growing into myself, and I am grateful for this piece of literature. Also as an added bonus, learned a lot about AAPI artists in America. The way she writes is masterful; I am excited to read her poetry.
