RaveThe Los Angeles ReviewHong interrogates dominant ideologies through fragmentation and juxtaposition. She thematically weaves nonlinear threads of personal narrative, cultural criticism, literary criticism, history, popular culture, and current events to reveal the intricate inner workings of our capitalist white supremacist patriarchy ... Hong laces her poetic sensibility into every page of Minor Feelings . Her fragmentary lyrical essay form is itself an act of resistance, a subversion of the traditional, authoritative, linear essay that argues a singular truth ... Minor Feelings is an example of literature that exposes our sense of reality. Hong’s willingness to tackle vulnerabilities and work through self-doubt and contradictory ideas on the page makes Minor Feelings a model for people interested in understanding whiteness, the dynamics of unequal power, the ways we internalize our dominant or oppressive positions, and how we interact with each other.
