Description
Jola or Diola couple farmers from southern Senegal.
The Jola have been among the most skilled rice producers of West Africa for centuries, growing both upland and flood rice in the inundated valleys and mangrove-lined river channels (marigots) lying along the flood plains and the tributaries of the Casamance River. They have produced mostly for home consumption, but their history tells us something about the gendered development of farming skills in complex rural economies.
