At the „Margin” of the Romanian Pre-Modern Society. The Jews

Abstract

This paper shows the attitudes of Romanian society regarding to the ethic category considered at the social margin. In this case were, for example, the Jews, “ excluded”. Towards those “ marginalized”, Romanian society in the 17th-18th centuries did not show the Christian pity. Its attitudes were argued by the religious convictions ideas and by the transferring cliches from Western Europe to Eastern Europe.
