Introduction
Preventing Epidemics at the Borders

In the article, use is made for the first time of the whole of the public health legislation of the Greek state during the period 1821-1909 (more than 1,700 laws, decrees, a…
The Institutional Framework for Work in the Mines of Greece

Labour History in the Semi-periphery
This collective volume aims at studying a variety of labour history themes in Southern Europe, and investigating the transformations of labour and labour relations that these areas underwent in the 19th and the 20th centuries. The subjects studied include industrial labour relations in Southern Europe; labour on the sea and in the shipyards of the Mediterranean; small enterprises and small land ownership in relation to labour; formal and informal…

Historical reflection on the premises, risks and limitations of the global perspective in labour history has led to a new synthesis of theory and empirical research. The article introduces the conceptual framework and the main characteristics of a flourishing research area, that of global labour history. Finally, this introductory article presents the five articles of the special issue on “Global Labour History: Perspectives from East to West, fr…
Women and Gender in the Mines
The role of women as mineworkers and as household workers has been erased. Here, we challenge the masculinity associated with the mines, taking a longer-term and a global labour history perspective. We foreground the importance of women as mineworkers in different parts of the world since the early modern period and analyse the changes introduced in coal mining in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, the masculinization and mechanization, …
Family, Gender, and Labour in the Greek Mines, 1860–1940
To date, research on work in the mines in Greece has ignored the significance of gender in the workplace, since mining is associated exclusively with male labour. As such, it is considered, indirectly, not subject to gender relations. The article examines the influence of family and gender relations on labour in the Greek mines in the period 1860–1940 by highlighting migration trajectories, paternalistic practices, and the division of labour in m…

From Santorini to Trieste and Suez
This article examines the origins of the European scientific, technical and economic interest in the volcanic tephra of the islands of Santorini and Therasia as a building material in harbour and coastal projects. The research (a) brings new data on the discovery and early use of Theran earth at a point earlier in the nineteenth century than was previously known; and (b) explains the transition from the general references to Santorini’s volcanic …
