On page 180, Niyazi describes his thesis and chapter as follows: "In Tajikistan, traditional Islamic values, which are concerned with a balanced approach to human development and the conservation of natural resources, may be the key to stable long-term development. This essay will review the nature of Islam in Tajikistan, discuss the connection between the 'Islamic revival' there and the crisis that erupted in the 1990s, and then propose in general terms the way in which local tradition may hold the solution to problems of stable development." In the section on tradition, Niyazi discusses Sufism, shrines, and sacred places. The chapter notes have long explanations and cite English and Russian sources.
Contents: Tradition; The Industrial Onslaught-The Islamic Response; Wider Implications; Traditional Society and Contemporary Problems of Stable Development; notes. Descriptors: 1990s, bibliographic, chapter, history, N, post-Soviet, reform, Tajikistan.

Hanks, Reuel. "Civil Society and Identity in Uzbekistan: The Emergent Role of Islam." In Civil society in Central Asia, edited by M. Holt Ruffin and Daniel Waugh, 158-179. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1999.
After defining civil society, the second section provides a basic overview of historical and contemporary Islam in Central Asia. He argues that Islam is plural within Central Asia (e.g. Sufism and sacred places) and, due to the Soviet legacy, is different in Central Asia than in other parts of the world. In the third section, he uses survey data (including his own small sample of students in Uzbekistan) to review the religiosity of Muslims in Central Asia. Based on the surveys, he argues on page 166, that "Islam is seen now by many, if not most, traditionally Muslim groups as the moral foundation of Uzbek society." The fourth discusses the mahalla and its relationship with Islam. The final section argues that Islam would be an important factor in any civil society in Uzbekistan.

In this four page section, Polat reviews the state control of unofficial Muslim clergy in contemporary Uzbekistan. He mentions many of the names of Muslim religious leaders who have been suppressed and discusses the tension between "traditional" Islam and stricter versions of Islam. The following quote from page 142, which likely holds true today (see McGlinchey), portrays the affect of state suppression on the everyday life of Muslims in Uzbekistan: "Today, there is no known Islamic leader in Uzbekistan, either official or independent, who feels free to express his views publicly."

Bregel, Yuri. "Religion." In Bibliography of Islamic Central Asia, Part I: History; Religion; Culture, 671-712. Bloomington, IN: Research Institute for Inner Asian Studies, Indiana University, 1995.
Bregel's bibliography is three two-inch thick volumes covering everything to do with Central Asia. The section on religion is only one section of the bibliography and works touching on Islam in Central Asia might be found in other sections. Most of the works are in Russian or other Central Asian languages. Because this bibliography is so comprehensive, it appears to be a great tool for researching foreign sources on Central Asia. It's main limitation is that it was published in 1995 and does not include the many subsequent publications, including those in English, on the region.
Relevent Sections: Islam (General; Islamization; Islam under Russian Rule; Islam under Chinse Rule; Theology and Law; Sects (Ismailiyya; Other); Sufism (General, Early Sufism; Under Russian Rule; Under Chinese Rule; Sufi Orders: Naqshabandiyya; Sufi Orders: Yasaviyya; Sufi Orders: Kubraviyya; Sufi Orders:Other); Saints and Holy Places; Popular Beliefs and Practices. Descriptors: 1990s, B, bibliography, chapter, post-Soviet, pre-Tsarist, Soviet, Tsarist

In 17 pages, Hanks reviews 51 English language works on religion (mainly Islam) in Uzbekistan. In addition to this chapter on religion, works discussing Islam in Uzbekistan can be found in other chapters including those entitled Anthropology and Cultural Studies; and Women and Gender Issues. In his introduction, he notes that the bibliography is not intended to be comprehensive. Most of the works were published in the 1980s and 1990s and the oldest was published in 1959. The electronic version of this book is a nice feature. Descriptors: 1990s, bibliography, chapter, e-book, H, Uzbekistan, website

The relevant pages of this three page section briefly discuss Central Asia's contemporary relationship with the Middle East with regard to Islam. While Muslims live in both regions, Robins notes differences between the two regions and argues that it is wrong to assume that Central Asia will follow the political path of the Middle East.

"Uzbek, Khan of the Golden Horde (r. 1313-1342)," is known as "the first khan of the Golden Horde to adopt Islam as a state religion" and "ruler of the Uzbek nation" (p. 110). Even though Islam was the state religion under his rule, the Latin sources reviewed here by Sinor show that he maintained religious tolerance with Mongols and Christians.

Khalid, Adeeb. The Politics of Muslim Cultural Reform: Jadidism in Central Asia. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1998.
Khalid's book covers Jadid reformers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who sought to reform Islam in order to reconcile it with modernity and who used the media as a tool and promoted modern education. In describing the debates prompted by the Jadids of what is "Islamic," Kahlid argues as follows on page xiii: "Islam, and Muslim culture, and the sense of being Muslim are far from immutable characteristics; rather, they change and evolve and do so through debate and the struggles of different groups in Muslim society."
Sections: List of Tables; Preface; Technical Note; Abbreviations; Introduction; 1-Knowledge and Society in the Nineteenth Century; 2-The Making of a Colonial Society; 3-The Origins of Jadidism; 4-The Politics of Admonition; 5-Knowledge as Salvation; 6-Imagining the Nation; 7-Navigating the Nation; 8-1917: The Moment of Truth; Epilogue; Select Bibliography; Index.

Fathi, Habiba. "Otines: The Unknown Women Clerics of Central Asian Islam." Central Asian Survey 16, no. 1 (1997): 27-44.
Fathi's article uses Soviet sources to review otins (women Islamic teachers) in Uzbekistan. It provides a good insight into the role of some women in Soviet society and how, despite Soviet attempts to promote atheism, otins helped to preserve Islam and tradition. Before describing otins, it reviews issues such as the bride price, legal age for marriage, marriage, polygamy, the hujum, the veil, parandja, etc. See also Fathi (2006).
Contents: The Soviet State and the Central Asian Woman; The Traditional Role of the Otines; The Role of the Otines in the Survival of Islam; The Mahalla: a Place of Memory; Initiation; Authority in the Community; The Central Asian Family: An Obstacle to the Emergence of Homo Sovieticus; Islam and Independence
