Name of creator(s) : Lucien and Jane Hanks

Scope and content : An article by Lucien Hanks from the proceedings of the 1957 annual spring meeting of the American Ethnological Society. Looking at two periods in Thai history (the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries), Hanks makes five generalizations about the structure of foreign contact. Such contact was conducted on both a trade and a military basis, and the interaction between two societies was based on exchange. Whenever the purpose of exchange moves beyond that of institutional paraphernalia, new forms of contact will occur.
