Where were all the authors who could reflect the manifold variety of the United States'! Where in this issue were the writers who speak about the histories, courage, challenges, and success ofpeople of color? The contributing authors deconstructed some of the major dominant theories on psychology, but little was offered toward deconstructing how, in hosting such a relevant theme, the major journal in the field kept the perspectives of psychologists of color silenced and invisible
