Barry Oshry has a lifetime's experience of working with social and
organizational systems. Here he explains how we can understand -
and avoid - the "catastrophes" that continue to occur when one
culture meets another - when demagogues sell us messages of
superiority or purity in the face of cultural difference. Algeria
Armenia Bosnia Cambodia Congo Darfur East Timor The Holdomor The
Holocaust Myanmar Palestine Rwanda... He explains how the two
conventional solutions to encountering the "other" - Purity and
Tolerance - both exact a terrible cost on the oppressed while
diminishing the humanity of the oppressors. And he offers us a
third possibility, one that requires a fundamental transformation
in how we see and experience one another. This transformation
requires us to understand that the interaction patterns we fall
into shape the way we see and experience one another. Change the
pattern of interaction and our experiences of one another will
change... The possibility of "Power and Love", working together and
tempering one another, will emerge.
