Archaeology of Self: The Introspective Educator’s Guide to Racial Literacy is an invitation to dive deep into the heart of teaching and the sacred work of self-awareness. It calls educators―and professionals from all walks of life―to embark on a lifelong journey of racial literacy, healing, and the pursuit of a bias-free existence. Blending personal narrative, poetry, and guided reflection, Archaeology of Self offers both a mirror and a map that takes readers through Dr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz’s framework for excavating one’s racial identity, confronting internalized bias, and teaching from a place of critical love, justice, and truth.
