As discussed in the Introduction to Volume One, Jennifer Simon, who was at Wiley at the time, was instrumental in convincing me to edit the two-volume reference Handbook on Racial-Cultural Psychology and Counseling. I agreed to take the project through her persistence and encouragement. She prompted me to think about what type of material would help advance the field and at the same time build on existing research and scholarship.
