Abstract By employing a socio-cultural theoretical approach this dissertation traces the ethnic and class transformation of the upper merchant stratum of Thessaloniki during the late Ottoman and post-Ottoman periods. Spanning the years between the establishment of the Ottoman Chamber of Commerce in 1882 and its dissolution in 1919, and employing a thematic narrative strategy, it analyses: the distinctive ethnic and class identities of the Greek-Orthodox, Muslim, Donme and Jewish merchants in the late Ottoman period; the forms, limits and meanings of coexistence in the marketplace and the formation of a Jewish hegemony; the ethnic conflicts during the Second Constitutional Period; the overturnings the Balkan Wars brought and the merchants’ first attempts to adapt to the new political realities; the consequences of the First Word War on the local economy, the business strategies, the symbolic representations of social hierarchy, the social collectivities and class conflict; and finally, the replacement of Jewish hegemony by a Greek one through a restructuring of the market institutions, the emergence of new forms of formal sociality and the resignification of the merchants’ middle class identity. The dissertation argues that the hellenization of Thessaloniki was a process intricately linked to the transformation of the ethnic and class identities, deeply involving the city’s upper entrepreneurial stratum and crystallizing already before the Asia Minor War, the advent of the refugees and the commencement of systematic state assimilationist policies.
