| Title |
Islam and Cold War Modernization in the Formative Years of the McGill Institute of Islamic Studies
|
| Abstract |
One of the major mechanisms for Canadian approaches to the Islamic world in the postwar era was McGill University’s Institute of Islamic Studies. Directed by Wilfred Cantwell Smith from 1951 to 1963, the Institute sought to “modernize” Islam and build cultural bridges between the West and Islamic countries. Its influence was most notable in Indonesia where McGill graduates became part of a modernizing elite aiming to develop Indonesia along pro-Western lines.
