This article offers a qualitative review of the narratives presented in this special issue of the Journal of Counseling & Development on racism. The author describes some of the collective themes that emerge from the narratives associated with the devastating, multifaceted effects of racism in the United States. The narratives individually and collectively help to deconstruct myths and stories that perpetuate racism and other forms of prejudice. A critical thinking model is presented that professionals in the fields of mental health and education might use to encourage students and others to take a closer look at racism and discover ways to move beyond prejudice and intolerance .
