It is probable that the occupational prestige hierarchy we label "Euro-American urban" is characteristic of all or almost all contemporary societal structures. But whether this hierarchy pervades all parts of all societies is a question which has yet to be answered. The present study emphasizes evidence of intrasocietal variation which may have been overlooked and provides new data consistent with the hypothesis that deviation from the Euro-American urban occupational prestige hierarchy is associated with isolation from that culture. Survey data on occupational prestige hierarchies from three Brazilian communities which vary on an index of isolation are presented. Correlations of the Brazilian occupational prestige hierarchies and the U. S. (NORC) hierarchy diminish with increasing isolation of the sampled populations. These results signal a warning to those conducting research on presumed antecedents or consequences of stratification outside the Euro-American cultural system. Isolated sectors of some contemporary societies may have occupational prestige hierarchies (and therefore systems of stratification) which differ from the well-known Euro-American form
