No More Heroes
Grassroots Challenges to the Savior Mentality
Jordan Flaherty
No More Heroes by Jordan Flaherty
Unmasking the savior complex, this book questions why privileged people often make things worse while trying to help. With examples from FBI informants, anti-sex-work crusaders, Teach For America corps members, and out-of-touch journalists, Flaherty celebrates grassroots challenges to these saviors and movements focused on real, systemic change from the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter. This book exposes imperialism hidden as a rescue operation, encapsulating the struggle for change and the frontline workers striving for collective power.
