SUMMARY:(POSTPONED) The Panama Affair: Financial Scandal\, Political Corruption and the Rise of Modern Anti-Semitism in 19th century France
DESCRIPTION:*THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED \nThe French anti-Semitic movement of the 1890s- typically associated with the Dreyfus affair- was in fact launched by a different scandal. In the 1892-93 Panama scandal\, the anti-Semitic movement first coalesced over a broadly shared outrage about a corrupt foreign investment scheme in which hundreds of thousands of ordinary investors lost their fortunes. Seeing the scandal as revealing Jews’ nefarious control of France’s democratic institutions\, anti-Semitic leaders channeled the populist impulse in France into a politically potent kind of anti-Jewish xenophobia. This presentation looks anew at the affair as a formative moment in the history of anti-Semitism\, and provides a new perspective on anti-Semitic movements’ critique of liberal democracy\, capitalism\, and globalization. \nLearn more: https://www.cmu.edu/dietrich/history/events/2023/panama-affair.html \nSponsored by:
