Demands for redress of historical injustice are a crucial component
of contemporary struggles for social and transnational justice.
However, understanding when and why an unjust history matters for
considerations of justice in the present is not straightforward.
Alasia Nuti develops a normative framework to identify which
historical injustices we should be concerned about, to
conceptualise the relation between persistence and change and,
thus, conceive of history as newly reproduced. Focusing on the
condition of women in formally egalitarian societies, the book
shows that history is important to theorise the injustice of gender
inequalities and devise transformative remedies. Engaging with the
activist politics of the unjust past, Nuti also demonstrates that
the reproduction of an unjust history is dynamic, complex and
unsettling. It generates both historical and contemporary
responsibilities for redress and questions precisely those features
of our order that we take for granted.
Amazingly detailed and gracefully beautiful, Alasia's
tempera-on-papyrus paintings meld the stunning style of ancient
Egyptian art with the mysteries of the Tarot. To shape the
interpretations, Alasia relied on the conceptions of Jean-Baptiste
Pitois, who linked the Tarot tradition to the legendary Book of
Thoth. Replete with ancient and exotic symbols, these cards speak
to the soul. Inlcudes booklet.

published in France in 1870, seven years before his death. The
reason I liked it was because of the dramatic and imaginative
writing style, part of which included a fascinating, fantastic, and
almost phantasmagorical story of initiation in ancient Egypt that
