It is an attritional violence that is often not recognized as violence at all. He describes calamities that are slow and enduring, ones that methodically dispense their devastation while eluding our brief attention spans—and the focus of a spectacle-oriented media. The insidious nature of slow violence stems largely from the disproportionate attention given to events that are spectacular versus those that are unspectacular such as the effects of environmental degradation, toxicity, and pollution.
