Abstract

Transnational 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.
