Uma tradução melhor (mas menos literal) da expressão \"the source and background of\" seria \"as origens e contexto de\" (precisa o original, que é vago, mas nã o trai).
\"Que sejam\" parece-me sobre-tradução. O único propósito do apêndice \"that are\" é permitir a colocação dos dois adjetivos após o substantivo \"sources\". Em Português é um apêndice mesmo.
