Beyond Marx

Traditional labour history focuses at just one segment of workers: wage earners in industry, agriculture, mining and transport. Other segments, however, like domestic servants, soldiers, housewives and unfree workers are ignored. Hence, this volume investigates the theoretical implications of a broader view of the working class.

TSEG Special Issue Turkey/Armenia

On 26 August 1896 the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, a small nationalist social-democratic organization, occupied the Ottoman Bank’s main office in Istanbul. While the occupation ended that same night, a widespread massacre of Armenians began. Both the perpetrators and the victims of the massacres were predominantly unskilled migrant labourers from the Eastern Anatolian provinces. Overshadowed by the tragic events during World War One, the Armenian massacre in1896 remained relatively understudied.
