The Casablanca Uprisings of 1952 (
Street children and dock workers also participated in the Casablanca protests of December 1952.[7]
Context
The Tunisian labor unionist and anti-colonial activist
Carrières Centrales
The protests were centered in the working class neighborhood Carrières Centrales (now Hay Mohammadi)—then on the outskirts of Casablanca—a neighborhood populated partially by migrants from rural areas seeking employment in the city and partially by Moroccans displaced from the city center in 1938 when the French authorities used a typhoid epidemic as justification to destroy shantytowns near the European ville nouvelle.[1] Up until the early 1950s, Carrières Centrales was a massive shantytown; the French authorities considered it a den of nationalist fervor and popular resistance and therefore a threat to the colonial order.[1]
Aftermath
Leaders of the Istiqlal party were arrested.[6] The Judeo-Moroccan human rights activist and intellectual Abraham Serfaty was expelled from Morocco by the French regime for his involvement in the protests.[17] In the aftermath of the riots, French authorities arrested Abbas Messaadi, who eventually escaped, he also found the Moroccan Liberation Army, and joined the armed resistance in the Rif.[18]
