The debate was generally about how Jola people are addressing the changes in their economic and environmental conditions given the importance of rice. Davidson capitalizes on an individual family’s tribulations and trials to demonstrate the implications of disappearing resources and changing the climate. Rice is a crucial trademark to identify Jola, therefore, its insufficiency has a significant impact on the core sense of the villagers. Davidson (2016) tries to capture the complex forms of deprivation, adaptation, fear, frustration, and ingenuity among the Jola farmers when they think of these changes. My original position was about the points I have discussed here, and my perspective did not change over the course of the debate.
