In the field of academic scholarship, the study of parenting has been extensive, yet it has often been unable to capture the full essence of this complex endeavor. The existing literature has often confined itself to the boundaries of individual disciplines. This limitation has hindered our understanding of the intricate interplay between these aspects and the values and beliefs that guide parenting. Furthermore, in the context of South Asian parents in the UK, the existing research has typically focused on parents from East and Southeast Asia, often leaving the unique experiences of South Asian parents overlooked. Examining Stereotypes and Parenting Behaviors of Asian Heritage Parents: Discourse and Case Studies offers a pioneering solution to this problem. It represents a groundbreaking initiative to break free from the constraints of traditional research methodologies and provide an unfiltered, in-depth look at the real narratives of South Asian parents in the UK. By weaving together the psychological, emotional, social, and cultural dimensions of parenting, this book uncovers a holistic view of this complex journey, one that transcends the limitations of sociology, psychology, or cultural studies. It does not aim to solve problems but rather seeks to capture authentic "family stories" and parenting experiences directly from the voices of the parents themselves.

The experiences of racial minorities in the United States education system remains a pivotal point of academic discourse. Academicians and researchers are concerned with the lived experiences of minority faculty of African, Latino, Asian, and Native American origins, particularly in predominantly White colleges and universities (PWCUs). Using critical race theory (CRT) and postcolonial studies, researchers may understand minority experiences through the backdrop of a history of slavery and European colonialism, and the enduring white hegemonic academic superstructure. Minority Voices From the Academic Superstructure explores the current state of minority experiences in academia while offering effective coping strategies through the lens of CRT principles and postcolonial theory. It calls for improved academic diversity and inclusion by pointing out educational underrepresentation. This book covers topics such as minorities in education, systemic racism, and educational administration and learning, and is a useful resource for academicians, education professionals, administrators, sociologists, historians, economists, researchers, and business owners.
