A collective look at key cases of international interchange that affected male female relationships invites three evaluations. All respond to the legitimate question: what happens when one moves from a set of good individual stories to an inquiry about broader patterns? The first evaluation, and it can be brief, involves the range of contacts itself. The second seeks generalizations about the results of contact on gender, and whether any patterns emerge. The third, looking at the historical cases sequentially, asks about any trends of change over time.
Using results on men and women as a vantage point on the nature of cultural interchange drives home key characteristics of interchange itself. World historians increasingly emphasize contact as one of the anchors of their ambitious subject, a means of linking individual societies to broader, sometimes global processes. The gender dimension illustrates how varied contacts can be. They range from casual, limited exchange to the complex results of introducing a new religion into an established cultural system. They can include interaction among relatively equal societies, but also virtual cultural compulsion, as in Western Europes approach to Native Americansand various possibilities in between the two extremes. Along with variety, the gender factor consistently suggests complexity; even the most overt cultural compulsion does not generate the expected or desired results.
Contacts also embrace unexpected tie-ins. The spread of Islam included interaction with other Middle Eastern practices such as veiling; Christianity often was linked with unusual Western definitions of family life and domesticity; international consumerism combines glitz and style with messages about womens distinctive obligations to beauty, a blend of seeming freedom and new compulsions. Interaction packages are untidy.
What role has cultural exchange played in confirming or changing mens and womens ideals and behaviors? Here, the examination of the kinds of contacts in world history that affected gender relations suggests several general points. The first, admittedly, is simply cautious: each case of contact is distinctive, the consequences often complex and hard to predict. There are no easy laws of history in this area. Thus contact may promote better conditions for women in relation to men, or the precise oppositeor, most commonly, some combination effect. Variation depends on the complexity of the outside influences but also on prior customs in the receiving society, which is why no two cases are exactly alike.
Variety shows in patterns of timing. Some contacts seem to affect mens and womens behaviors rather quickly; a case in point may be the impact of Buddhism on China, where women could use Buddhism as an outlet without disturbing fundamental gender relationships. Certainly contacts that involve compulsion, like the European entry to the Americas, can make an effect quickly, but some contacts work out only over prolonged periods, like the impact of Islam on parts of India. There are simply no clear regularities. Will some of the new contacts that developed in the twentieth-century world also vary in the time it takes to determine basic results?
