Pablo Lumerman is a conflict transformation colleague from Argentina. \nIn this conversation we talk about the power of living in the present moment, the importance of remembering deep history and enacting our visions for the future. We discuss a comparative history of colonialism, race and racism between Argentina and the United States.\n\nWe draw parallels between colonialism and gentrification and ponder how laws and bureaucracy are forms of cultural colonization that undermine indigenous culture and dialogue.\n\nAs conflict transformation practitioners we talk about the greatly needed capacity of dialogue to help us reach across our differences and facilitate healing. And, given where we started, we talk about how the transformation of conflict requires us to think beyond neutrality to avoid repeating patterns of oppression.\n\nPablo Lumerman\nTwitter: @plumerman\nFacebook: pablo.lumermansirote\n\nMore Info at: fractalfriends.us/fractalfriends/pablo-lumerman\nWork with Duncan: www.spokeandwheel.co\n\nMusic: "Klezmer Tango" by Du\xf3 Lerner Moguilevsky
