Tobacco workers in Ljubljana (1912-1962)Strle, Urška (Avtor) tobacco workerssocio-political transitionsgender historylabor relationssocial historyThe article addresses the social aspects of tobacco history, the empirical basis of which are mainly serial sources but also other fragmental remains of the archival fund of the Tobacco Factory Ljubljana. The scope of the article will cover the final years of the Habsburg Empire, the period of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (from 1929 on known as the Kingdom of Yugoslavia), and the initial years of Tito’s Yugoslavia, with ruptures inflicted by the two world wars. Such a temporal framework was chosen deliberately to detect continuities and discontinuities of social transformations throughout various political regimes, in particular how they affected the sphere of labor in the tobacco industry. Due to manageable numbers of workers stretching from about 500 to 2500 over the observed period and among which women always dominated, the sources used also allow for a thorough analysis of gender aspects in the intersectional perspective.20212022-03-04 09:37:32Neznano135277UDK: 93/94:338.45-051(497.4Ljubljana)\"1912/1962\"ISSN pri članku: 1318-0185DOI: 10.19233/AH.2021.38COBISS_ID: 92257283sl
