Nonetheless, after all has been said, Reynolds should be commended for publishing her field diary as it corrects numerous misconceptions about the Tonga in general and those in Chitenge in particular. Although her research focused on child labour, the diary elucidates, through a very impressive approach, that Reynolds’ “tale is not one of misery, for there is joy among the people and enterprise and creativity and a resilient social structure,” an aspect that is not found in the accounts of other researchers of the colonial forced removals. The diary thus encourages researchers to keep field diaries, even if it is tiring labour, for Reynolds’ demonstrates the significance of such an account.

津巴布韦汤加人对帕梅拉·雷诺兹生活的反思

尽管如此，毕竟已经说了雷诺兹发表她的实地日记，因为它纠正了人们对汤加总体上的许多误解，特别是在奇滕奇的误解。尽管她的研究集中在童工问题上，但日记通过一种非常令人印象深刻的方法阐明了雷诺兹的“故事不是痛苦，因为人们和企业之间充满了欢乐，创造力和具有韧性的社会结构”，这一方面在其他研究人员对殖民地强迫迁徙的描述中没有发现。因此，日记本鼓励研究人员保留野外日记，即使它很累人，因为雷诺兹证明了这种记述的重要性。
