摘要

在许多奴隶制社会中，被奴役者被禁止接受很多教育。尽管如此，被奴役者还是能够获得哪些技能，以及在摆脱奴隶制后这些技能发生了怎样的变化，这些都不为人所知。我们从数量上研究了奴隶制遗留问题如何影响基本计算技能的发展。我们的研究结果表明，在合法废除奴隶制后，被研究人群的计算能力开始提高。因此，这一时期对公立学校教育的投资似乎对提高基本计算技能的学习起到了重要作用。

Numeracy and the legacy of slavery: age-heaping in the Danish West Indies before and after emancipation from slavery, 1780s–1880s

In many slave societies, enslaved persons were barred from acquiring much education. What skills the enslaved persons nonetheless were able to acquire, and how this changed following emancipation from slavery, is not well known. We study quantitatively how a legacy of slavery impacted upon the development of basic numeracy skills. Our results show that numeracy skills started to improve in the population under study following the legal abolition of slavery. Investments in public schooling during this period thus seem to have been important for the increased learning of basic numeracy skills.
