College and career readiness is essential to promoting the success
of all students. Educational and economic changes in today's
society demands well thought out strategies for preparing students
to survive academically, socially, and financially in the future.
African American students are at a disadvantage in this strategic
planning process due to a long history of racism, injustice, and
marginalization. African American Students' Career and College
Readiness: The Journey Unraveled explores the historical, legal,
and socio-political issues of education affecting African American
students and their career and college readiness. Each chapter has
been written based on the authors' experience and passion for the
success of students in the African American population. Some of the
chapters will appear to be written in a more conversational and
idiomatic tone, whereas others are presented in a more erudite
format. Each chapter, however, presents a contextual portrayal of
the contemporary, and often dysfunctional, pattern of society's
approach to supporting this population. Contributors also present
progressive paradigms for future achievements. Through the pages of
this book, readers will understand and hopefully appreciate what
can be done to promote positive college bound self-efficacy,
procurement of resources in the high school to college transition,
exposure and access to college possibilities, and implications for
practice in school counseling, education leadership, and higher
education.

Introduction to 21st Century Counseling: A Multicultural and Social
Justice Approach provides readers with an overview of the
counseling discipline with emphasis on developing a culturally
responsive practice rooted in social justice. Featuring chapters
authored by seasoned experts and rising stars in the counseling
profession, the text offers traditional information integrated with
evidence-based techniques and practices based upon key
multicultural and social justice competencies. Using a
multicultural framework, the text dismantles commonly stigmatized
statuses and identities by proposing that all individuals have
intersectional identities. Through this unique lens, readers are
prompted to intentionally challenge Westernized ideologies that are
oppressive and may impede the development of a culturally
responsive practice. The Multicultural and Social Justice
Counseling Competencies (MSJCC), as endorsed by the American
Counseling Association (ACA) and the Association of Multicultural
Counseling and Development (AMCD), are infused within each chapter,
helping readers to develop the awareness, knowledge, skills, and
practices necessary to successfully serve a myriad of diverse
clients. Designed to help readers develop a compassionate and
thoroughly modern practice, Introduction to 21st Century Counseling
is ideal for graduate-level courses in counseling. It is also
valuable for clinicians interested in refreshing their personal
practice or increasing their multicultural and social justice
competence.
