Obstactles Faced by Minorities

by Gayatri Joshi

This introduces a poem I wrote to interpret the theme of “minor feelings”. The minor feelings or feelings of negativity faced by people from minority communities is a recurring theme found in two enlightening books covered in this class- “Minor Feelings” by Cathy Park Hong as well as “Heart Berries” by Terese Marie Mailhot. The poem revolves around the topics of minorities and discrimination explored in these books.
