Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Violence Wrought By Climate Change, Toxic Drift, Deforestation, Oil Spills, And The Environmental Aftermath Of War Takes Place Gradually And Often Invisibly. Using The Innovative Concept Of Slow Violence To Describe These Threats, Rob Nixon Focuses On The Inattention We Have Paid To The Attritional Lethality Of Many Environmental Crises, In Contrast With The Sensational, Spectacledriven Messaging That Impels Public Activism Today. Slow Violence, Because It Is So Readily Ignored By A Hardcharging Capitalism, Exacerbates The Vulnerability Of Ecosystems And Of People Who Are Poor, Disempowered, And Often Involuntarily Displaced, While Fueling Social Conflicts That Arise From Desperation As Lifesustaining Conditions Erode.In A Book Of Extraordinary Scope, Nixon Examines A Cluster Of Writeractivists Affiliated With The Environmentalism Of The Poor In The Global South. By Approaching Environmental Justice Literature From This Transnational Perspective, He Exposes The Limitations Of The National And Local Frames That Dominate Environmental Writing. And By Skillfully Illuminating The Strategies These Writeractivists Deploy To Give Dramatic Visibility To Environmental Emergencies, Nixon Invites His Readers To Engage With Some Of The Most Pressing Challenges Of Our Time.
