Joshua CasalesHow does Seman's reliance on outsider sources (officials, journalists, clergy) affect how we interpret the voices and agency of curanderos themselves? Does this strengthen or limit her analysis of borderland faith culture? #hist416
@cjoshua2118 To me Seman's reliance on outsider sources made the curanderos seem more like legends. The unofficial nature leads to people describing the curanderos as more mythical and embellish their accomplishments. #Hist416
