Описание книги

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-traficking work, to do-gooder journalists, Flaherty’s book reveals saviors’ misdeeds but also shows how activists can build new, stronger movements.

What is your definition of white supremacy if it does not include undervaluing the work, intelligence, and experience of people of color?

In my experience with unpaid and less formalized grassroots activism, it is often those who have the most leisure time—which is generally those with the most privilege—who end up being in leadership positions. Especially when there are no official leaders.26 And after they “generously” give their time, they are the first to use that experience on their resume, on a research project, or just to brag about to their friends. “The poor have long provided cultural currency to the rich,” writes scholar Gabriel Winant. “The social attitudes and political ideology of elites have understood the ghetto as a credibility gold mine.”27
