Joshua CasalesHow does Hernandez's use of government records and local sources change the way we understand the Border Patrol compared to a more traditional political narrative? #Hist416
arri chavez@cjoshua2118 I think that, specifically, relying on the personal papers of the agents really opened up a lot of intimate knowledge on the emotions, integrities, motives, thoughts, + vulnerabilities that they held. It better shapes the story by making it well-rounded, informed, + focused on the people who held so much influence in its formation.
