Missionaries of the left, 'saviours' are people of privilege who believe they have all the answers. They want to help, but don t want to listen; they lead but never follow. From post-Katrina New Orleans, to anti-sextrafficking work, to do-gooder journalists, Jordan Flaherty s book reveals how this saviour mentality undermines the very causes these activists are trying to advance. Then, Flaherty shows how activists can build stronger movements using solidarity instead of charity, with examples from current movements such as Black Lives Matter.
