'Never a theoretician, Iliffe was a man of the field, analysing all that he saw and experienced. His work was regarded internationally as the model of what engaged research should be, in a way that would be difficult to sustain today.' #Skystorians

This project grows directly out of my own work reconstructing and linking historical populations characterised by considerable ethnic, racial, linguistic and social diversity: when we reconstruct populations from historical records, who gets represented and who gets missed out?

I’m especially looking forward to thinking across the Caribbean and Indian Ocean experiences of slavery, emancipation and their long-term legacies.

100

Stefania Galli @galli-stef.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Drawing on my work on the #Caribbean, I’ll explore what changed with emancipation, what did not, and how unequal access to land, wealth and political power allowed structures created under slavery to persist long after abolition.

Stefania Galli @galli-stef.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

I’ll be talking about “The Long Shadow of Slavery: Institutions, Emancipation, and Persistent Inequality.” A simple question is at the heart of the talk: what happens to inequality when slavery ends?

📌 After emancipation, opportunities remained firmly in the hands of the elite and did so for a long time. 🔑 We stress how redistribution can reduce inequality: principles of economic justice and fairness must couple with the redistribution of key resources to affect wealth/income distribution.

Tariffs are also a *regressive* tax on Americans, which means that the burden falls more heavily on lower-income Americans. Income taxes are the opposite. So shifting taxation from income taxes to tariffs is a transfer of money from low-income Americans to high-income Americans.

Demographers ability to model the global population ("10 billion by 2050 followed by plateau") rely on DHS surveys. Without them we're blind to large parts of the globe and quality of forecasts will go down. Which is of course a non-issue if planing-horizons don't extend beyond next Friday.

🎯 We find that elite persistence remained high in global comparison throughout the period, while #criticaljunctures only had a temporary effect. We contend that this result can be attributed to three mechanisms of persistence: 📌inheritance, 📌institutional co-optation and 📌limited franchise

🌎 We focus on one of the most extremely #unequal societies in the world, the West Indies, over the long run and study #elite persistence and the effects that significant economic, institutional, and social changes, #criticaljunctures, had on it.

‼️ New article out (my all time favourite). In it, we examine how #elites form, maintain their position, and influence the society they control. Our work is central to the debate on #inequality and helps explaining the #persistence of high inequality levels across the world.

Elite persistence and inequality in the Danish West Indies, 1760–1914

The issue of how elites as a social group form, maintain their position, and influence the society they control is central to the debate on inequality…

Stefania Galli @galli-stef.bsky.social · 26/10/2024

🔑 takeaway? Our study help understand the roots of the very high levels of #inequality that characterize the region still nowadays, the most unequal world region together with LA.
