No full textTransnational Circular Labour Migration in Northwestern Borneo.
Reed L. Wadley.
Circular labour migration among the Iban of West Kalimantan, Indonesia has historical links to indigenous practices of headhunting, early market involvement with forest product collection, and Iban values that have fuelled these activities. Yet because of their location on the border between Indonesian and Malaysian Borneo, these Iban occupy a marginal position in both countries. Additionally, given their strong social and cultural ties across the border and the weaker Indonesian economy, labour circulation is largely transnational, to jobs in Malaysian Borneo and Brunei. This article describes the historical antecedents of current Iban circular labour migration, the transnational nature of Iban labour circulation, the work experience of men who engage in it, and its domestic consequences.La migration circulaire transnationale de travail au Nord-Est de Bornéo.
Reed L. Wadley.
La migration circulaire de main-d'œuvre chez les Iban de Ouest Kalimantan en Indonésie est historiquement liée aux pratiques indigènes de chasseurs de têtes, à leur engagement précoce dans la collecte des produits forestiers commerciaux et aux valeurs qui sous-tendent ces activités. Cependant, à cause de leur localisation à cheval sur la frontière entre la partie indonésienne et la partie malaysienne de Bornéo, ces Iban occupent une position marginale dans les deux pays. De plus, du fait des liens sociaux et culturels existant entre les communautés iban de part et d'autre de la frontière et de la relative faiblesse de l'économie indonésienne, la circulation de main-d'œuvre, à la recherche de travail salarié est surtout transnationale, vers le Bornéo malaysien et Brunei. Cet article décrit les antécédents historiques de la migration circulaire de main-d'œuvre iban, son caractère transnational, le travail des hommes qui s'y adonnent et les conséquences de cette migration pour la société iban.La migración circular transnactional de trabajadores en el noroeste de Borneo.

La migración circular de los trabajadores iban del oeste de Kalimantan, en Indonesia, tiene vinculos históricos con las practicas indigenas de los cazadores de cabezas, su participación precoz al la colecta de productos comerciales de la selva, y a los valores de los Iban que han promovido estas actividades. Pero a causa de su ubicación en la frontera entre la parte indonesia y la parte malaysia de Borneo, estos Iban ocupan una posición marginal en ambos países. Los lazos sociales y culturales fuertes entre los iban de los dos lados de la frontera, y la debilidad de la economía indonesia explican que la circulación de trabajadores sea en su mayor parte transnacional, dirigida hacia el Borneo malaysiano y Brunei. Este artículo describe los antecedentes historicos del migración circular actual, su carácter transnacional, la experiencia laboral de los hombres quien la realizan, y las consecuencias de esta migración sobre la sociedad iban.Wadley Reed L.

Introduction
No full textThis special section of Volume 41 of the Borneo Research Bulletin has been compiled in honor of Dr. Reed Lee Wadley, an anthropologist who conducted research for two decades in the Danau Sentarum area before dying prematurely in June 2008. We have assembled more recent research in the area, at the invitation of Dr. Cliff Sather and with the encouragement of Dr. George Appell. The compilation is multidisciplinary, bringing together researchers from the fields of anthropology, economics, botany, earth sciences, ecology, geology, geography, law and soil science. The authors also work in a range of research settings and include university professors, consultants, NGO personnel and people working in research organizations. We believe that Reed Wadley would have been particularly supportive of this diversity, given his own extraordinarily diverse interests and areas of expertise
