Summary:  "How can we build a better world? And why do so many people with privilege end up making things worse when they try to help? It's called the savior mentality, and Jordan Flaherty finds it in FBI informants, anti-sex-work crusaders, Teach For America corps members, and out-of-touch journalists. No More Heroes celebrates grassroots challenges to these saviors and highlights movements focused on real, systemic change from the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter."--Back cover Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Item type Status   Cole Harbour Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.4840973 F575n Adult books Checked in Add Copy to MyList
