Alasia Nuti

Opis

Should we care about the injustices of the past? Does history matter when we think about current gender inequalities? Advancing the argument that we cannot 'let bygones be bygones', this book will appeal to anyone interested in the persistence of gender inequalities within our contemporary societies.

Recenzje

'In this path-breaking book, Alasia Nuti develops a new way to combine reflections on historical and structural injustice. Taking us beyond reified notions of time, agency or social groups, she suggests a powerful account of political and social justice that speaks to the past, the present and the future.' Rainer Forst, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main
