Abstract

The 1929 riots in Palestine left hundreds dead. This article insists that these events can only be understood in a broad, global context. Continuing violence in Europe forced the dislocation of hundreds of thousands of Jews and others at the end of World War I, while the new science of eugenics closed off immigration to the US to all but the whitest. Large numbers of Jews leaving Europe found their way to British mandatory Palestine, where their presence threatened to dislocate the local populations. Although economic depression, extensive immigration, and employment discrimination created dramatic hardships on the ground, it was exclusionary nationalism that redefined the targets for massacre.
