Abstract:

In Ottoman Thessaloniki of the early twentieth century, the cargo-handling services between the ships and the docks were performed primarily by Jews. In Greek Thessaloniki of the early 1920s, the docks became less ethnically homogeneous as a result of the arrival of great numbers of non-Jewish Greek laborers. The longstanding assumption in scholarship has been that the Jewish tenure on the wharf of Thessaloniki could only have been possible because of the Ottoman regime's tolerant attitude, whereas after the incorporation of Thessaloniki into Greece (October 1912) this Jewish predominance came to an end because of the intolerant stance of the Greek nation-state. While the existing literature of Salonikian Zionist intellectuals has tended to see two narrow categories—Ottoman cosmopolitanism versus Hellenic parochialism—the lens of social history provides new insights into the port labor market and its working population. A study from below reveals the multiple dimensions of Jewish longshoremen's culture which enabled these workers to maintain a high degree of dominance in the labor market even after the Ottoman period.

摘要：

在20世纪初的奥斯曼塞萨洛尼基，船只和码头之间的货物装卸服务主要由犹太人提供。在1920年代初期的希腊塞萨洛尼基，由于大量非犹太希腊工人的到来，这些码头的种族同质性降低了。长期以来的学术假设是，由于奥斯曼帝国的宽容态度，犹太人在塞萨洛尼基码头任职才有可能实现，而塞萨洛尼基并入希腊后（1912年10月），由于希腊民族国家的不容忍态度。萨洛尼卡犹太复国主义知识分子的现有文献倾向于看到两个狭窄的类别-奥斯曼帝国主义与希腊狭och主义-社会历史的镜头为港口劳动力市场及其劳动人口提供了新的见解。下面的一项研究揭示了犹太沿岸人文化的多个方面，这些文化使这些工人即使在奥斯曼帝国时期之后也能在劳动力市场上保持高度的统治地位。
