of Brunei is also a fragmented state. Kalimantan is a part of Indonesia.
Figure 16-5
Here, the Iban people of Sarawak are selling “jungle
products,” which they have collected from the
forest. The fruit in the foreground is “rambutan.”
The Iban are traditional shifting cultivators, but
many have moved to coastal towns to participate
in the oil, lumber , and plantation economy . They
make up nearly one-third of the population of
Sarawak. Photograph courtesy of B. A. Weightman.
