The Jews traditionally belonged to a social category known as "service nomads," an outsider group specializing in the delivery of goods and services. This role--urban, mobile, literate, articulate, intellectually intricate, physically fastidious, and occupationally flexible--has taken center stage in the modern age. Marxism and Freudianism sprang largely from the Jewish predicament, and both Soviet Bolshevism and American liberalism were affected in fundamental ways by the Jewish exodus from the Pale of Settlement. The book concentrates on the drama of the Russian Jews, including m̌igrš and their offspring in America, Palestine, and the Soviet Union. But Slezkine has as much to say about the many faces of modernity as he does about Jewry.--Publisher 000290566 650_0 $$aJews$$zEurope$$xEconomic conditions. 000290566 650_0 $$aJews$$zEurope$$xSocial conditions. 000290566 650_0 $$aJews$$zRussia$$xEconomic conditions$$y19th century. 000290566 650_0 $$aJews$$zRussia$$xEconomic conditions$$y20th century. 000290566 650_0 $$aJews$$zRussia$$xSocial conditions$$y19th century. 000290566 650_0 $$aJews$$zRussia$$xSocial conditions$$y20th century. 000290566 650_0 $$aCivilization, Modern$$xJewish influences. 000290566 650_0 $$aSocial integration$$zRussia. 000290566 650_0 $$aCapitalism$$xSocial aspects. 000290566 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship$$xSocial aspects. 000290566 651_0 $$aRussia$$xEthnic relations. 000290566 651_0 $$aRussia$$xCivilization$$xJewish influences. 000290566 85200 $$bgen$$hDS140.5$$i.S59$$i2004 000290566 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:290566$$pGLOBAL_SET 000290566 980__ $$aBIB 000290566 980__ $$aBOOK 000290566 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
