This article provides a concluding commentary for a thematic issue of the Journal of Social Issues (JSI) dealing with the intertwining of psychology, history, and social issues. First we show how the social issues addressed and the scholarly approach in this journal collection are consistent with the JSI tradition. Then we contend that the questions asked in more traditional areas of psychology and in examining the intersection of history and psychology bear a resemblance. Next we identify three themes that cut across the articles in the collection: the role of social injustice in shaping identities, the depiction of history varies by who describes it, and responses to social histories are shaped by multiple forces. Finally, we consider policy implications focusing on how identities and group boundaries are important in policy advocacy and the use of policy to seek redress of injustices
