It's basically shared-nothing-message-passing, as in Erlang. I haven't actually played with it; I'm just a dilettante who reads blog posts.

If you are interested in implementation details, see Dybvig's home page. Look for his retrospective paper on the development of Chez Scheme. See also his paper on the parallel garbage collector.

If you're interested in Lisps and concurrency check out Clojure. The author, Rich Hickey gives a nice presentation on a ridiculously parallel ant colony simulation here: http://clojure.blip.tv/file/812787 Mutexes on shared mutable memory are a particularly difficult way to deal with concurrency.
