INEQUALITY Appel1 (1978: 61) reflects the view of many social scientists when he points out that some of the Borneo societies practising swidden agriculture "have essentially egalitarian social systems, while others have highly developed systems of social stratification".I argue that the contrast between such societies has been overemphasized.In particular, the Iban have been seen as a paradigm of egalitarianism, but if we analyse their social structure, we can see that inequality is present to a significant extent, and that they are much more similar to the stratified societies of Borneo than is superficially evident
