Moses, Larry W. "Uigur." In Muslim Peoples: A World Ethnographic Survey, edited by Richard V. Weekes, 451-454. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1978.
This short chapter outlines the history of the Uygurs. Only the last two paragraphs discuss Islam and they state that the Uygurs began to adopt Islam in the tenth century; like other Turkic groups, they were heavily influenced by Sufis; and they remained devout Muslims until the communist period.

Walsh, Harry H. “Turkic-Speaking Peoples.” In Muslim Peoples: A World Ethnographic Survey, edited by Richard V. Weekes, 422-427. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1978.
This chapter is mostly linguistic and shows the diversity of Turkic people in Central Asia. Here is one of the few quotes about Islam from page 427: "The Kirgiz, alone among the eastern Turks [Kirgiz-Kipchak and Khakas-Yakut], practice Islam, albeit with a shamanistic substratum." Descriptors: 1970s, bibliographic, chapter, identity, linguistics, Soviet, W; syncretism

Irons, William G. "Turkmen." In Muslim Peoples: A World Ethnographic Survey, edited by Richard V. Weekes, 427-433. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1978.
This chapter reviews Turkmen culture in Central Asia. It states that the main reason why the Turkmen were nomadic was so that they could raid the sedentary populations and retreat into more arid regions. It also outlines some of the social obligations of sons to fathers and wives to husbands.

Dupree, Louis. "Tajik." In Muslim Peoples: A World Ethnographic Survey, edited by Richard V. Weekes, 389-395. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1978.
This is a very interesting chapter. It compares the Tajiks in Afghanistan to those in Soviet Central Asia where life is different due to the Soviet influence. It also briefly discusses Ismaili Muslims in the region and the following topics: agriculture, animal husbandry, home styles, tribal democracy, alcohol, etc. It mentions that Tajik women rarely wore the veil and influenced decisions in the village councils (majlis) even though they did not attend.

Dupree briefly describes the animals, diet (including kumis), social structure, housing, and sports of the Uzbeks in Afghanistan during Soviet times. He could have said more about the religious practice of these Uzbeks. (cf Montgomery)

Mote, Victor L. "Karakalpak." In Muslim Peoples: A World Ethnographic Survey, edited by Richard V. Weekes, 201-205. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1978.
This chapter briefly attempts to describe the origins of Karakalpaks. It argues that the condition of Karakalpak women during Soviet times was relatively better than among other ethnic groups in the region, for example with regard to the veil. It also shows that some Karakalpaks in Soviet times were still semi-nomadic.
