ABSTRACT

The period between the 1929 riots and the 1936 general strike and rebellion was not marked by any major political events or serious Arab-Zionist negotiations. Yet, below the surface, significant changes were taking place. If we probe beneath the superficial tranquillity and relative prosperity of this period, we can detect important developments which were simultaneously a postscript to the 1929 crisis and a prelude to the more serious outbreaks of 1936.
