Abstract: This panel aims to bring together the most recent international works on the Constantine riots of August 1934, greatly renewing our knowledge of these events. Each paper addresses the question of the meaning and significance of these riots, which left 28 people dead, including 25 Jews, from its own perspective, emphasizing the role of different factors: the importance of the colonial far right, the escalation of the conflict in Palestine, and the class antagonism between Jews and Muslims. It also draws into different historographies: French and colonial history, Middle-Eastern and transnational history, social and economic history. In doing so, the panel offers a rare opportunity to discuss these hypotheses together, and to address broader questions such as the scope of anti-Semitism in the Arab world in the interwar period.
