In Israel and Judah Redefined, C. L. Crouch uses trauma studies,
postcolonial theory, and social-scientific research on migration to
analyse the impact of mass displacements and imperial power on
Israelite and Judahite identity in the sixth century BCE. Crouch
argues that the trauma of deportation affected Israelite identity
differently depending on resettlement context. Deportees resettled
in rural Babylonia took an isolationist approach to Israelite
identity, whereas deportees resettled in urban contexts took a more
integrationist approach. Crouch also emphasises the impact of mass
displacement on identity concerns in the homeland, demonstrating
that displacement and the experience of Babylonian imperial rule
together facilitated major developments in Judahite identity. The
diverse experiences of this period produced bitter conflict between
Israelites and Judahites, as well as diverse attempts to resolve
this conflict. Inspired by studies of forced migration and by
postcolonial analyses of imperial domination, Crouch's book
highlights the crucial contribution of this era to the story of
Israel and Judah.
