Iban Of Sarawak Research Articles

Ethical questions raised by the politicising of Iban lives

This article unravels corporate ownership in the agricultural sector as a basis for assessing Iban opportunities to develop choices in regard to rural development in Sarawak. It proceeds to investigate the predominant discourse on rural development as the symbolic environment which ultimately determines the nature of participation by agriculturalists. My sources comprise census materials, scholarly research, and newspaper reports from 1987–93. The results reflect critical disablement of recently autonomous peoples at the level of subsistence. My findings affirm the right to participate but they refute any causal linkage of development and economic advantage to rural Iban in Sarawak.

Accommodation in an Iban Church Today

The usual attitude of missionaries to accommodation (often decried under the label “syncretism”) is to condemn it. In this paper, the authors explore a sensitive effort at positive accommodation among the animistic Iban in Sarawak. The introduction of the original article, which is not reprinted here, summarizes the experimental conditions and describes the animistic foundation of the Iban world view, on which the Gospel must take root. It is in terms of this animism that the accommodation was made. Both advantages and disadvantages of the experiment are candidly explored.
