Giovanna,

Your paragraph is well-written.

As to your references, did you have direct access to them? In other words, did you read those texts yourself or did you find references to them in somebody else's work?

There are specific ways for you to cite secondary references (i.e.: references found in a text you had access to). Please, employ them if it is the case for you.

When a writer cites references he or she did not have primary access to as if he or she had, this is something a reader who is an expereinced researcher in the academic discipline in question often realizes, and this too is considered plagiarism.

Ricardo
