Synopsis:
The violence caused by climate change, industrial contamination, deforestation, and the environmental consequences of wars occurs gradually and often invisibly. This slow violence, deliberately ignored by capitalism, has devastating consequences in the medium to long term on ecosystems and minorities, fueling ecological and social conflicts. Slow Violence. The Time of Environmental Justice finally arrives in Italy, a selection of the most significant passages from Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor, one of the most important books of recent years that has marked the history of environmental thought, enriched by two illuminating essays on a fundamental and often overlooked theme: environmental justice. Nixon's thought thus leads us to reflect in a new and transversal way on the most urgent challenges of our time.
