## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An essential read
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020*

Cathy Park Hong unpacks, confronts, and dismantles the “model minority” myth and fearlessly explores the complexities of being Asian in America while examining and updating race, capitalism and identity to the 21st century. Each essay is so layered and beautifully written, delving into the variegated truths and contradictions of Asian American identity and weaving personal memories and reflections with historical and current events and cultural and social criticism.Minor Feelings is many things, it’s hard to put into words, or words that can adequately convey how powerful and brilliant it is. Reading Minor Feelings was so deeply gratifying, satisfying, inspiring, empowering, and illuminating. I felt exposed and profoundly recognized as each essay, each page, each passage peeled away a layer to distant internalized feelings, “ugly feelings” that I had have never reckoned with or known how to even acknowledge. Minor Feelings articulates these emotions and experiences into sharp focus, where I felt overwhelmed as I wasn’t prepared to feel so seen, where my invisible self became visible. Hong’s essays have equipped me with something that I’ve been searching for, a voice. Mira Jacob writes, “[Minor Feelings] takes all the parts of us that we can barely account for and gives them back fully recognized. It felt like having someone sit me down in a chair and say ‘You’re feelings are real’ and ‘This is how we got here’ and Here is a way out’ all at once…” Minor Feelings is an essential read, now more than ever.

    Exceptionally written
  

*by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2023*

I truly enjoyed this book. I learned so much and was called out on my own biases. Very appreciative of the interweaving of history, personal experience, comedy, and difficult topics. Also, this author is a true wordsmith and I needed a dictionary - very evident that she is an academic!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    a tough but worthwhile read
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024*

I’m so glad I read this book as it’s just as important, albeit very different, book as Caste.  Both tackle the uncomfortable topics of history, racism, and privileges allowed to some people through our social hierarchy.Minor Feelings felt so much more visceral and personal than Caste did to me. While Isabelle Wilkerson relayed some of her personal experiences into the book, Caste was a more wonky piece  than this book.  Hong makes a point throughout the book of highlighting her rage at both the disrespects and gaslighting of Asian Americans (a questionable term, as she repeats through the book). The emotions  are immediate and unfiltered  in Minor Feelings and that’s one of the reasons it got uncomfortableI also have never felt so dumb reading a book. I didn’t recognize so many authors and artists and poets that she references and quotes, even as I consider myself a reasonably well-read person. Plus there were a number of words where I had to pull up the dictionary, included Calibanize. Her depth and use of English language is amazing, even as she says she wants to break it.I’m not a huge essay reader and I enjoyed her chapters that were leaning more in to the memoir. Overall, I’d reccomend this book to nearly everyone.  As Hong quotes in the book, “you can’t do better unless you know better.”
