Hi there, welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed your edit to Purity and Danger. Having just welcomed you, I hope this doesn't come across as unwelcoming, but I have a quick question about that edit. You've added details about Catherine L. Besteman's Making Refuge on the basis that it is influenced by Purity and Danger, citing the book Making Refuge itself as evidence of the influence. Usually Wikipedia prefers secondary sources, but obviously the best source for the content of a book is the book itself. However, Douglas doesn't actually seem to be referenced in the index or bibliography to Besteman's book (she does reference Liisa H. Malkki's Purity and Exile). Which leads me to my question: what is the source for saying that there was influence? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 09:02, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
