The term ''diaspora'' was first applied exclusively to the early  history of the Jews as they began settling in scattered colonies outside  of Israel-Judea during the time of the Babylonian exile; it has come to  express the characteristic uniqueness of the Jewish historical  experience. Zeitlin retraces the history of the Jewish diaspora from the  ancient world to the present, beginning with expulsion from their  ancestral homeland and concluding with the Holocaust and the  Israeli-Palestinian conflict. \u003cp\u003eIn mapping this process, Zeitlin argues that the Jews'' religious  self-understanding was crucial in enabling them to cope with the serious  and recurring challenges they have had to face throughout their  history.
