Brown Voices was originally published in 2018 by Bloomsbury Publishing (formerly Rowman & Littlefield) under the title South Asian American Experiences in Schools: Brown Voices from the Classroom. After five years of advocacy,
the rights were reverted to the author, and this revised edition is being published under Dr. Rice's own imprint.
The book has been substantially revised and restructured. Methodology now lives in footnotes and appendices rather than the body of the text, making it accessible to a broader audience without sacrificing scholarly rigor.
The new edition also weaves in conversations from the Be Inspired interview series, including voices like Vishal Vaidya, Himanshu Suri (Heems) Jyoti Chand (Mamajotes), Sujata Day, Kevin Negandhi, Pavana Reddy, and more.
What hasn't changed: the research. All studies were conducted under Johns Hopkins University's Institutional Review Board with academic advisor supervision, and core findings have been published in the peer-reviewed Berkeley Review of Education.
