An Introduction to Resources for Thai Studies in the United States

Southeast Asian Studies in the United States

The history of Thai studies in the United States is tied to the history of Southeast Asian Studies. However, Thailand 's relatively unique history and the scholarly efforts of several Thai and American scholars have led to a greater exchange of scholarly resources between Thailand and the United than nearly every other country in the region. In fact, today, despite the fact that there are few “Thai Studies” professors and no endowed chairs of Thai Studies in the United States , there are considerable textual and internet resources. This short overview will provide a brief history of Thai Studies in the United States and offer a large list of library, internet, academic, and human resources.

Southeast Asian Studies as a discipline in the United States began in the 1940s in reaction in many ways to the U.S. military involvement in World War II in the Pacific and eventually in Southeast Asia . The area was defined as including Brunei Darussalam, Burma ( Myanmar ), Cambodia , Indonesia , Laos , Malaysia , Philippines , Singapore , Thailand , and Vietnam . In some fields like Buddhist Studies and Archaeology, Sri Lanka and Assam in Eastern India are also considered as part of Southeast Asian Studies as well as South Asian Studies. In fact, the U.S. military's “Southeast Asia Command” (SEAC) included Sri Lanka , but not the Philippines . Furthermore, many experts in Southwest China , especially Yunnan , are also trained in Southeast Asian Studies. Linguists of Tai-Kadai and Tibeton-Burman languages often trace links between the Himalayas , Southwest China , and Eastern India , Nepal , Sikkhim, and Bhutan . In some departments, the study of Vietnam is included in East Asian Studies, while the study of the Philippines is now being connected by some scholars to Latin American and Pacific Rim Studies. The study of Chinese diaspora communities in Southeast Asia and the study of Global Christianity and Islam have grown significantly in the past few years. The growth of Global Studies in general is questioning all of these Area Studies groupings. Economically and strategically, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (1954-1977) and its gradual replacement, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (1967-present), define Southeast Asia as comprising ten member countries: Brunei Darussalam, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as now -- East Timor.

Scholars like Benedict Anderson, Oliver Wolters, Craig Reynolds, Anthony Reid, Thongchai Winichakul, Paul Mus, Victor Lieberman, Charles Keyes, and Vladimir Braginsky have delved deeply into the history of defining Southeast Asia as an object of study. These are not only apologetics for the very existence of the field, but an analysis of Southeast Asian Studies within the larger strategic and intellectual history of post-colonial period. Reid (1988) has shown the geographic and economic links through waterways and trade relations and Thongchai (1994) has provided a history of the invention of SE Asia as a region in response to American, French and British military ambitions during World War II and the Indochinese Wars of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. In various publications, Lieberman, Mus, Keyes, and Wolters have attempted to link cultural, economic, and historical trends in the region to larger global processes or to intellectual shifts in ethnic studies and comparative literature and politics. All have questioned the use of the category of “nation” to organize the study of Southeast Asia , because nations are not completely distinct entities and are interconnected to greater and lesser extents to transnational flows of goods, services, information, cultural forms, and intellectual trends. What has been lacking, among a long list of desiderata, has been examinations of the place of Vietnam and the Philippines in SE Asian Studies due to their geographic and economic links, but their more obscure cultural links or a review of the place of Sri Lanka and Japan in SE Asian Studies. The growth of “autonomous histories” among Southeast Asian scholars and later the study of “transnational flows” of capital and information has caused an made a whole generation of recent scholars question the very way the use terms like “Thai Studies,” “Malay Studies,” or even “Southeast Asian Studies” itself.

The first named center for the study of Southeast Asia in the U.S. was the “Southeast Asia Institute” formed in New York City in 1941 (John Bowen, “The Development of Southeast Asian Studies in the United States ,” UCIAS 3.10 (2003): 8). Most of its members were specialists in Island Southeast Asia and worked in the field of Anthropology. The first university center opened at Yale in 1947, Cornell in 1950, and the University of Californa ( Berkeley ) in 1960. The lifting of many restrictions on immigration from Asia in 1965, the expansion of the Peace Corps into Malaysia , Thailand , and the Philippines , and the increased funding for the U.S. war in Vietnam , Laos , and Cambodia , led to a greater expansion of these centers. These include Northern Illinois University in 1963, Ohio University in 1969, and the University of Michigan in 1960. Other universities had numerous faculty who actively researched in Southeast Asia , like the University of Hawai'i and the University of Wisconsin . Eventually in the 1990s, there were also established Centers of Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Washington, Arizona State University, University of California (Riverside), University of California (Los Angeles), and University of Oregon. They garnered financial support from private foundations like the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Luce Foundation among others. Government funding has come mostly through the National Defense Education Act (which began in 1958) and the Department of Education's Title 6 program which supports the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) grants and Southeast Asia Studies National Resource Centers. Of course, there are professors of Southeast Asian Studies teaching in dozens of U.S. universities that may not have centers of Southeast Asian Studies and/or external funding. Some of these universities include: California State University ( Long Beach , Chico , and Fresno ), Harvard, Georgetown , University of Utah , University of California ( Santa Cruz ), Northwestern, University of Vermont , Bates, Lehigh University , Drew University , the University of the South, Ole Miss, among others. The teaching of Southeast Asian languages takes place at many universities which do not have formal centers as well. Traditionally, Malay, Tagalog, and Bahasa Indonesian have been the most common languages taught in the U.S. ; however, over the past 30 years the study of Vietnamese has increased dramatically. The study of Burmese, Khmer, Lao, Thai has been supported to a much lesser extent. “Non-national” languages such as Ilocano, Hmong, Wa, Shan, Mon, Javanese, Kachin, and Karen have rarely been sustained for more than a few semesters at any one university. The study of Southeast Asian languages is rarely sustainable without either a large “heritage” student population (2 nd -3 rd generation immigrants) like there is in California, Chicago, and the Mid-Atlantic region, and/or a dedicated tenured support faculty in established departments like history, linguistics, religious studies, music, art history, political science, or anthropology.

The failure of Southeast Asian Studies centers and Area Studies in general has not been as dramatic in the United States as it was in Great Britain; however, without Title 6 funding many centers cannot continue to hire new faculty, increase library resources, fund graduate student study, support language study, or operate outreach programs and sponsor faculty and student travel and exchange. John Bowen (2003: 12), whose study of the history of Cornell and trends in Area Studies I highly recommend, has pointed out that often even successful centers of Southeast Asian Studies have experienced multiple years of decline or receivership because of the resignation, retirement, or death of one or two professors who were largely holding the centers together – this was seen at Yale in the 1960s, OU in the 1970s, and NIU in the 1980s, and UC Berkeley in the 1990s, and most recently the University of Michigan. Although many centers eventually recover through energetic new hires and “bridge” grants (NIU being a perfect example), many do have not return to previous stature. Therefore, it is essential that endowed chairs be established that can encourage long term sustainability not affected by changes in government funding, student population, and political climate.

Thai Studies in the United States

Unfortunately, the ways most Americans came to know the name Siam or Thailand at first was through the famous “Siamese Twins,” In and Chan, who came to the United States and made a home in White Plains, North Carolina in 1831, or perhaps through the “King and I” and King Rāma IX's expose in Life Magazine after his coronation and state trip to the U.S.. In terms of Thai Studies in the U.S. , Mr. Thien He was the first Thai student to study in the United States (1871). Thai immigration rapidly increased after 1965 and in 2000 There were 150,000 Thai immigrants and many more American born persons with Thai ancestry began to study in the U.S. . By far, the largest Thai community in the United States lives in “ Thai Town ” or “Bang Rak” in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles . Roughly 66% percent of all Thai Americans live in Los Angeles . Los Angeles is sometimes referred to as Thailand 's 77th province. Other large populations include Chicago , Philadelphia , Washington DC , and various sections of Florida . However, according to the latest statistics, there are persons from Thailand living in every state in the union. Despite this large immigrant population, there is no elected official in the U.S. of Thai descent, and very few Thai scholars working in U.S. universities and research institutes.

This growth in the Thai population of the U.S. has not been a direct causal impetus for the growth in Thai Studies, but Thai Studies has certainly grown since the 1960s because of the pioneering efforts of Cornell, University of Wisconsin ( Madison ), the University of Washington and several other American academic centers. The increase has been two-fold:1 ) Library and Museum collections of Thai material; 2) Increase in scholars and students studying Thai language, history, botany, music, art, politics, economics, etc. While these efforts in Thai Studies have been led by mostly non-native Thai persons (who more the most part have chosen to study in professional degrees like medicine, architecture, business, and engineering), there has been an increase in Thai scholars teaching in the United States and of non-Thai American students and scholars working in Thailand. There are also several summer-study programs for Americans in Thailand , in addition to programs/grants such as Fulbright, SSRC, Knox, Luce, Worldteach, PeaceCorps, Princeton-in-Asia , and Standford-in-Asia which introduce U.S.-based students to Thailand and Thai Studies.

Traditionally there have been some research subjects that have especially interested scholars of Thai Studies based in the United States . These include:

1) Thai politics and political history (especially: a) the transition from absolute to a constitutional monarchy; b) the reform of Siamese administration and education in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; c) the Ramkhamheang inscription and the management of Thai slaves and the sakdina system; d) the relationship between the North, Northeast, and Southern regions and the central government in Bangkok; e) the issue of Siamese “colonization;” f) decentralization and the role of the parliament; g) Thai communism and the 1973 and 1976 revolutions; h) the role of Thai-U.S. military bases during the conflict in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia; i) comparative kingship; j) politics and the economic crash of 1997);

2) Thai Buddhism (especially: a) social engaged Buddhism and Buddhadasa Bhikkhu and Phra Payutto; b) the rise of the Thammayut sect and the reforms of Prince Wachirayan and King Mongkut; c) the ecclesiastical reforms of 1902; d) Siamese Tripitaka editions; f) the issue of female ordination; g) manuscript preservation);

3) Archaeology (especially: a) Sukhothai; b) Ayutthya; c) Bang Chang; d) Khampaengphet; e) Nakorn Sri Thammarat; f) Sri Vijaya; g) Pattani).

4) Art History (especially: a) temple murals; b) the evolution of Buddha image styles; c) Wat Ratchaburana and other major Ayutthyan monasteries; d) the rise of photography in the late nineteenth century; e) traditional weaving and silk production; f) mother-of-pearl and lacquer ware; g) ceramics);

4) Botany (especially: a) tropical grasses; b) homali rice strains; c) traditional herbal medicine);

5) Development (especially: a) prostitution and human trafficking; b) AIDS; c) hill tribe status and public health; d) tourism; e) hydro-electric power and flood control; f) opium production and narcotics control; g) women's health; h) reproductive health);

6) Linguistics (especially: a) Tai-Kadai phonology in Northern Thailand , Laos , Eastern Burma , and Sipsongpanna; b) Pali-Sanskrit lexical impacts on modern Thai);

7) Literature, Drama, Music (especially: a) Traibhumikatha; b) apocryphal Jatakas; c) Sunthorn Phu; d) Thai chronicles and historical poems; e) modern women's literature; f) Lilit Phra Lo; g) Khun Chang Khun Paen; h) Ramakian; i) Inao; j) Mo Lam folk music; k) development of Thai classical dance; l) modern Thai film).

8) Anthropology (especially: a) esoteric ritual and mediumship in Northern Thailand; b) funerary rites; c) monastic life; d) hill tribe identity politics; e) the development of monuments and state ritual; f) beauty contests and women's movements; g) local versus translocal identities; h) labor movements);

There are a number of neglected areas in each of these disciplines. For example, there has been little study of the rise of the Thai novel in the 1920s-30s, few studies of Buddhist liturgy, Thai Brahmanism, urban gangs and contract murder, prognostication, labor movements, criminology, Chinese immigrants, the publication industry, pop music, comic books, homiletics, gender relations, the rise of Thai encyclopedias and dictionaries, linguistic code-switching and Thai-English pedagogy, among other subjects. The general area of intellectual history of modern Thai social scientists and humanists is seriously neglected, as is the subject of black market economies and the mafia. The study of Southern Thailand has only been a major area of research in the past five years. The manuscript archives of North and Northeastern Thailand have not even been properly catalogued.

Library collections

Besides the large collection of Thai language materials in the Library of Congress, the Echols Library Thai collection at Cornell University is the largest and oldest in the United States . It officially opened in 1977, but by this time there was already a sizable collection of Thai materials. According to an Echols Library report:

“The roots of the collection, however, are in Charles Wason's collection of western language books on the Chinese that he donated to Cornell in 1919. About the sme time, Jacob Gould Schurman, Cornell's president from 1892-1920, laid the foundation for our huge archive of private papers and documents... Development was accelerated by the Farmington Plan, a book acquisition scheme designed by the federal government to use surplus foreign currencies for vernacular language publications. After the Farmington Plan was phased out, the 1958 National Defense Education Act established National Resources Centers for each region of the non-western world, with funds committed to buy publications in every subject. In the 1960s the Library of Congress began an Oversees Acquisitions Program. As its contribution to this national effort, Cornell agreed to acquire a copy of every publication of research value produced in the countries of Southeast Asia . The Rockefeller, Ford and Mellon Foundations have awarded endowments that continue to provide funding for library staff and acquisitions, a tradition that distinguishes the Echols Collection from not only all others at Cornell but also other Southeast Asia Collections in the United States. As a premier resource on Southeast Asia , the Echols collection annually adds more than 7000 volumes to its collection. It is the most comprehensive body of material on a global region in the Cornell University Library system and the largest collection on Southeast Asia in the United States , and in the world. In 1995, the Collection consisted of more than 250,000 monograph titles, plus an equal number of microtext items, some 21,000 serial titles, and approximately 900 titles of newspapers. In addition, there are an estimated 2,000 audio cassettes, some 300 video cassettes held and serviced by the Media Center at the Uris library and in the Music library, and a rapidly expanding set of electronic databases. Over 30,000 photographs, some 200 cubic feet of papers and documents dealing with Southeast Asia are held and serviced by the Rare and Manuscript Collection Division. The Echols map collection, which is serviced and held by the Map librarian in the Map collection located in the lower level of Olin library, is also very comprehensive.”

The Hatcher Library at the University of Michigan ( Ann Arbor ), the University of California at Berkeley , the University of Washington also have large collections of Thai material. Michigan 's collection is especially strong in political science and history. UC Berkeley's Doe Library and Southeast Asian Studies collection was started in 1970 and has grown significantly through the efforts of Professor Mary R. Haas (who wrote one of the most trusted Thai-English dictionaries). Berkeley participated in the Library of Congress Southeast Asia Cooperative Acquisitions Program, formerly known as Public Law 480 Program since its inception in 1964, under which it has received more than 20,000 items including monographs, government documents, serials and audio-visual resources. According to Virginia Shih, the librarian of the Southeast Asian collection, “The McFarland Family, one of the earliest and most important American missionary families in Thailand , bestowed a preeminent archive of materials related to Thailand between 1860 and 1950, including a valuable collection of photographs taken at Angkor and other archaeological sites in Cambodia and Thailand , dating back to 1878. The Swift Family contributed a priceless collection of Buddhist palm leaf manuscripts from Thailand .”

Northern Illinois University (NIU) has been an especially good resource for Thai Studies collections since it publicizes it material well through its Southeast Asian Studies website, offers on-line Thai language tutorials, and recently hosted the International Thai Studies conference which attracted over 300 participants. As of 2005, it possessed 25,000 volumes of Thai material.

The University of Washington ( Seattle ) Library has collected much Thai material in the last 20 years, know owning over 11,000 titles. Presently, the Southeast Asian librarian, Judith Henchy, is heading the Thai newspaper database which will certainly become a major archive for Thai language newspapers available in digital format. Professor Charles Keyes has helped build the collection, which is especially strong for anthropological material from Northern and Northeastern Thailand .

The University of Wisconsin , Madison has a large Thai collection, although I have not been able to garner statistics. It is particularly strong in Thai politics and political history. Librarian Larry Ashmun has been instrumental in helping build internet and bibliographic resources for students interested in Thai Studies.

The University of California ( Riverside ) has also been building a Thai Studies library. Through the assistance of a Luce Foundation Grant in 2005-2006 it purchased over 4,000 volumes of Thai language material to add to its collection (including rare collections of Buddhist material from the nineteenth century). It also purchased the 63 volume Encyclopedia of Thai Culture and the entire Pali canon and commentary for Buddhist Studies. The Southeast Asian Studies Center (SEATRiP: Southeast Asia : Text, Ritual and Performance) is focused on building Thai collections that focus on Thai art history, Buddhism, music, film, and archaeology.

Other notable Thai Studies library collections are housed at Yale University , Arizona State University, and Ohio University .

Perhaps the most pressing problem facing American library collections is lack of staff to properly catalogue and transcribe the books, newspapers, etc. in Thai.
