What began fifteen years earlier as a neighborhood squabble provoked by conflicting lifestyles ended in the destruction of sixty-one homes and the death of eleven residents - five of them children. Some 250 people were left homeless.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWas this tragedy the only solution to the conflict? Were John Africa and his morally and ecologically idealistic followers \"too crazy\" to negotiate with? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The authors interviewed MOVE members and their neighbors, third-party intervenors, and representatives of the Philadelpia administration in the 1970s, and draw on their own knowledge of the field of dispute resolution. More than simply describing a terrible event, they examine the dynamics of conflict, analyzing attempts at third-party mediation and the possibility of resolution without violence. Their analytical approach provides insight into other major conflicts, such as the problems of perception and misperception in U.S. - Iranian relations. \u003cp\u003eIn an age when terrorism and hostage-taking are regular features on the six o'clock news, their questioning of traditional views on negotiation with \"irrational\" adversaries is especially important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hizkias Assefa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 5.53w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822954309","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40414670192755,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_751a16b8-1229-4667-b684-616f6fff4e1e.jpg?v=1662213920","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-move-crisis-in-philadelphia-extremist-groups-and-conflict-resolution-9780822954309","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
