Having lived in Northern New Mexico for twenty years I was surprised and delighted to hear some back stories about the recent history of the area.Lucy Moore tells about events that have shaped our lives in this area in ways that bring the people and events into focus without sugarcoating the difficulties of changes in populations, environments and the interactions of diverse cultures. IT is is ongoing and she does not tell us about conclusions and fixes but how this ongoing search for mediation really works.
Lucy is a very very wise and fine environmental mediator - a founder of the field, and a rare soul who walks her talk. This book is a gem, an opportunity to spend time with Lucy, glimpse her magic and steep in her remarkable yet humble insights. But it is her gift as a story teller that draws you in and lights the west on fire- and you finish the book with only a inkling of how much you have just learned. Read it, and then treasure it.
In each of the 10 stories contained in this collection, Lucy Moore provides vivid descriptions of the physical, social, psychological, and emotional terrain that constitutes the "hostile turf" and the mediation processes used in the search -- sometimes futile -- to find common ground. A remarkable achievement in a compact volume.
Had to read this for a class, and still managed to enjoy it thoroughly. The stories presented provide lessons and insights in a palatable way, and their sequence creates a nice arc.
Common Ground on Hostile Turf is a book of great stories, and as Lucy Moore points out, stories are fundamental to successful mediation and facilitation. As a mediator, I was captivated by the book was intelligent, instructive, and entertaining.
Really good
I live in the area and I knew Molly and her family. I didn't know all they were doing so the story told me the rest of what I didn't know.
The author was spurred to become a mediator in environmental disputes by sitting in on a community trying to come together over water. New Mexico had a fraught history of water rights disputes, but now wells were being contaminated by too many septic tanks. Native peoples and towns as well as agriculture were at odds but a strong tribal leader, Governor Viarreal, held a general meeting on tribal land so he could control matters - no press, no mentions of existing legal suits - then when that day's meeting was over, a welcome lunch was served to all. Seeing how the community that talked together, worked together, and ultimately benefited everyone, the author began a quarter century (to date) career of mediation.We are told that the mediator may receive confidences by one side or other which must always be kept private. There may be co-mediators. With cross-cultural tensions, industry and poverty, ecology and toxic waste, there were plenty of disputes in the author's area. She found however that being funded by a foundation, however benign, made her suspect in the eyes of traditional people who felt their way of life was at risk. They could not move away while incomers could. Some people were concerned to know who she herself was, where her family lived, what made her so interested in other words.The situations explained are so potentially complex that a reader may not read all the detail; focusing instead on the broader picture of sheep grazing rights in the green mountains, or water rights grievances when environmentalists tried to ensure that a river would retain rights to enough water still to make it a river. However if you are into local politics or social work, there are some firm lessons to be learned - even that the method of getting people to introduce themselves around a group table won't be the same for every meeting. Many home owners are too busy to want to take time to argue around a table, preferring to hold an entrenched position and get on with the work of survival.The author's group of mediators developed a mission statement and set of policies for press, record keeping, responsibilities and other issues. Amazingly she says that developing these regulations took 'a gruelling two and a half years' so the message would be to start early and agree a few basics before anything more complex occurs. But then, committees are often that way. She found one person on an environmental issues committee who sat through all the discussions in 'bad faith' intending to throw water on the results and sabotage any consensus. Again, committees can be that way. Persons like this are not going to change.Although the author's field had been natural resources disputes, she was later asked to mediate on the issue of educating tribal children. Her work with local people had made others see her as fitted to mediate in this area. She made sure to have diversity in the mediation team. Some observers were permitted at this time, including a high school student who told her elders that they looked like kids squabbling over candy. The author felt that observers might encourage posturing. She learned that historical trauma remains with many people regarding their ethnic community, making them innately suspicious of outsiders.Looking at a community with a toxic waste pile of uranium tailings from a bankrupt company mine down the road, poisoning aquifers and blowing dust, the author shows us why intervention is needed. Yet when she was called in, the group planning a cleanup just wanted her for 'hired guns for crowd control' at meetings with the community. The agency was filled with initials, acronyms and scientific jargon. The local people pointed out that when the mine opened, they hadn't known much, hadn't known the questions to ask. Now they were better educated on the topic. Such issues are all part of the mediator's challenges.The final part presents a summing of up lessons learned, which are related to the locations of the book but could be adapted. Anyone in this field could learn a lot. I am not giving a higher rating because at times the story seems too personal a memoir and too involved in the minutiae - which to the author, may be the point, but to an uninvolved reader, slow down the story and make us want to skip ahead to some kind of resolution. A good book to team with this one, for people keen to explore tribal and environmental issues clashing with pollution problems, would be Peter Matthiessen's 'Indian Country'.
