Alasia Nuti’s recent book Injustice and the Reproduction of History: Structural Inequalities, Gender and Redress puts forward a compelling vision of contemporary duties to redress past wrongdoing, grounded in the idea of “historical-structural-injustice”, constituted by the “structural reproduction of an unjust history over time and through changes”. Such an approach promises to transcend the familiar scholarly divide between “backward-looking” and “forward-looking” models, and allow for a reparative approach that focuses specifically on those past wrongs that impact the present, while retaining a significant focus on the historical. While Nuti’s work is perhaps the most sophisticated treatment of structural injustice to date, this paper argues that an exclusive concentration on historical-structural-injustices neglects some aspects and some acts of wrongdoing that call out for present-day redress. What is needed, therefore, is a pluralist theory that can accept the pressing force in the present of historical-structural-injustices, whilst also making room for past-regarding duties that either do not fit, or are not best conceptualized in terms of, this approach, without being overwhelmed by the sheer scale of historic injustice.

阿拉西亚·努蒂（Alasia Nuti）的最新著作《不公正与历史的再现：结构性的不平等，性别与补救》提出了令人信服的当代责任感，以纠正过去的不法行为，其依据是“历史-结构-不公正”的思想，该思想由“社会结构的不公正”构成。随着时间的流逝和通过变化的不公正的历史”。这种方法有望超越“后向”模型和“前向”模型之间熟悉的学术鸿沟，并允许采用一种修复方法，该方法专门针对那些影响当前的过去错误，同时仍将重点放在历史上。 。尽管Nuti的工作也许是迄今为止对结构性不公的最先进的处理方法，本文认为，对历史-结构-不公正现象的专心研究忽略了某些方面和某些不当行为，这些行为和行为需要当今的补救。因此，需要的是一种多元论，它可以接受历史-结构-不公正的现状下的压力，同时也为过去不适合或不能最好地概念化的职责留出空间，这种方法不会因历史上的不公正现象而无所适从。
