Millie Davis and Priscilla Kron invite you to join us in exploring the impact of racial stereotypes and lies on ethnic minorities, specifically Asian Americans. This discussion continues last year’s Antiracism Reading Group’s discussions and our work to live into the 8th Principle adopted by UUCUC in June 2021 and becoming a Beloved Community. Discussions will be guided by a Covenant. Participants are not required to have attended previous classes.
We’ll be reading Cathy Park Hong’s Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning (2020, 203 pages). The book is widely available.
“Hong dissects her experiences as an Asian American to create an intricate meditation on racial awareness in the U.S. . . . Hong, a poet, lays bare the shame and confusion she felt in her youth as the daughter of Korean immigrants, and the way those feelings morphed as she grew older . . . Hong underscores essential themes of identity and otherness.” — TIME
