Minor Feelings

Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning is a 2020 autobiographical book of essays written by the American author Cathy Park Hong. It was published by Penguin Random House (under its One World imprint) in the United States and Profile Books in the United Kingdom and is composed of seven essays about growing up as an Asian-American in a Western capitalist society, more specifically in the United States of America. This book won the National Book Critics Circle Award for autobiography in 2020.

Hong defined the title of the book as the emotions felt by marginalized minority groups in a predominantly white society, feelings that are not only disregarded but also considered excessive. The author stated that these feelings of marginalization come from a long history of systemic racism and economic discrimination in society. Although the book is in English, and has yet to be translated, Hong frequently describes Asian-American sentiments with Korean words.
