Brown Voices
Brown Voices: South Asian American Experiences in Schools is based on years of doctoral research into what South Asian American students experience, and what adults keep getting wrong.
Drawing on a national survey of 85 South Asian American adults, in-depth interviews, and original research conducted at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Punita Rice examines what South Asian American students actually experience in U.S. schools — and what teachers, families, and institutions often miss because of assumptions tied to the model minority myth.
It’s written for teachers who want to understand the South Asian American students in their classrooms, for parents trying to make sense of what their kids are experiencing, and for South Asian American adults who recognize their own school years in these pages. It’s written for you.
