If you're a member of a minority group, how much does it grate on you to have that tagged attached--"minor"?
Cathy Park Hong, poet and essayist, has put some thought into it. She is a first-generation American, the daughter of Korean immigrants. So the identification as something other or less than "mainstream American" has hung around for her entire life.
Hong collects her thoughts and essays in the book Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning. We explore her life and her writing about it, in this visit to the JX.
