    • The position adopted by Dirks in previous articles, and more extreme versions of colonial constructivism, are questioned by Susan Bayly who notes, Caste has been for many centuries a real and active part of social life, and not just a self-serving orientalist fiction. She sees the colonial caste system as neither fabricated nor a single static system... [that] has dominated Indian life since ancient times, a position broadly akin to the argument advanced here. See her The New Cambridge History of India IV.3: Caste, Society and Politics in India from the Eighteenth Century to the Modern Age (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1999), quote p. 4.

    • It resurfaced in the run-up to the 2004 elections in Ghana when the creation of a new district, separate from Ho, led to a dispute over the site of its capital. The Adaklus insisted that because they were the landowners they should be granted the district capital. This was supposed to happen, but the decision was overturned and Kpetoe was selected instead. This produced a tremendous amount of ill feeling in which deep history came to the fore.

He also asserts that the Zukpe and Nyitoe people came from Lekpo on the Volta, but these villages deny that they are of the same origin. Nene Keteku refers to the Nyitoe people speaking a variant of Adaklu-Ewe, which may indicate that they were there when the Agotime arrived. Interview, Kpetoe, 26 Mar. 2001.

    • In his attempt to isolate specifically Jola characteristics in the 1950s, Thomas noted: The Diola knows nothing about commerce in the strict sense, that it is to say the business of exchange. It is an occupation which, in his natural pride, he believes to be disgraceful, precisely because it exempts the one who lives from it (ayasa, alanora) from working in the fields. (Le Diola ignore le commerce au sens strict, c'est- à-dire l'exploitation des échanges. C'est une occupation que, dans sa fierté naturelle, il croit indigne de lui, précisément parce qu'elle dispense celui qui en vit (ayasa, alanora) du travail des champs.) Thomas, Les Diola, 283.

    • A heightened sense of Jola sub-nationalism in the Casamance only surfaced in the period after Senegalese independence. But what is perhaps worth underlining about the Mouvement des Forces Démocratiques de la Casamance (MFDC) is that its target was never the Mandinka, who it endeavored to recruit into its guerrilla army, but the Wolof of the northern half of Senegal. In that sense, the positive interaction between Jola and Mandinka at the start of the century has had enduring consequences
