The first comprehensive study of Calderón in English

Jonathan Norton is a rising star in the Dallas area, but his description of a Black neighborhood in the '80s will appeal to so many, especially after the resurgence of #BLM protests in the summer of 2020.

He then shows that the two are usually joined together in discussions of ancient Jewish literature arguing that as a result...
