Desolate Land/Desolate People in Jeremiah and Lamentations

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

    Abstract

    Within this article I argue that the community
    who survived the destruction of Jerusalem experienced solastalgia due to
    the decimation of both the city and its environs. As an effective tool in
    the geopolitical power dynamics of ancient war, the destruction of place,
    both urban and rural, was used as a means of gaining and maintaining
    submission of the conquered peoples.
