Each piece is well researched, rich, and interesting in its own right.

It includes a multidimensional approach by mobilizing different disciplines such as migration studies, environmental history, and gender studies. It is very important for global labour history literature to evaluate the impact(s) and interaction of local councils, central administration, governments, trade unions, craft guilds in order to study conflicts and nationalism emerging in the labour market; and to examine the association between the wage information and paternalistic methods despite the scarcity of knowledge about the role of women and children in the labour market.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Meltem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This is a very welcome addition to the historiography of Ottoman and post-Ottoman politics and society in the age of nationalism and expanding global capitalism.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Margarite Poulos\u003c\/strong\u003e, Western Sydney University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction and Historiographical Essay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greek and Turkish Economic and Social History, and Labour History\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eLeda Papastefanaki and M.
