Le mouvement professionnel et socialiste juif dans la ville de Salonique, 1909-1918

In the field of social history as a branch of historic research that emphasizes social structures and the interaction of different groups in society rather than affairs of state, we focus on the outgrowth of economic history that it expanded as a discipline in the 1960s. Locality and nationalities as historical analytical categories are also involved in modern historic literacy. The aim is to rethink Marxist analysis on specific historic issues. The purpose of this study is: a) to highlight Jewish labour in Ottoman Thessaloniki. It is a product of my collaboration with Alex Dagkas, a two-volume work (in French, 2023) which will present detailed evidence of the Jewish labourers’ history in Ottoman Thessaloniki, b) to provide a stimulus for discussion, to integrate the Jewish labour movement into a framework of observation of social processes that will be based on contemporary theoretical and methodological approaches according to this issue.
