In some countries Jews suffered limitations on where they could live; were barred from certain trades, professions, and government posts; or were subjected to deracination or forced conversion. One such deracination was the "possible rendezvous," in which a person might be asked to be present at a certain location at a certain time to meet someone he did not know; to discover his party would involve introducing himself to all manner of strangers. Unlike right-wing ruralism and its fear of deracination, the Socialists did not ascribe to peasant life any form of moral superiority. |
