Summary Missionaries of the left, saviors 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-sex-trafficking work, to do-gooder journalists, Flaherty's book reveals saviors' misdeeds but also shows how activists can build new, stronger movements.
