by Cathy Park Hong, 2020, 206 pages, paperback.
The poetry editor of the New Republic discusses her experiences living and working in a culture hostile to expressions of Asian individuality and identity. In this memoir in essays, Hong offers a fierce and timely meditation on race and gender issues from her perspective as a Korean American woman. Candid and unapologetically political, Hong's text deftly explores the explosive emotions surrounding race in ways sure to impact the discourse surrounding Asian identity as well as race and belonging in America.
