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.
