Summary

A study into the effects of the Babylonian exile on Irsaelite and Judahite identity, using migration research, trauma studies, and postcolonial theory. This volume presents social-scientific concepts to differentiate the experiences of deportees taken to urban Babylon, rural Babylonia, and the impact this displacement had on those left in Judah.
