Product Review
"Like a skilled tracker, Hordes pursues a prey at pains to cover its tracks, linking the bold 15th- and 16th-century persecution of Iberian Jews to a faint crypto-Jewish persistence in 21st-century New Mexico. Original, persuasive, humane." -- John Kessell, University of New Mexico, author of Spain in the Southwest: A Narrative History of Colonial New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and California
