Dautcher, Jay. Down a Narrow Road: Identity and Masculinity in a Uyghur Community in Xinjiang China. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Asia Center, 2009.

Dautcher's book is the result of ethnographic research among Uygurs in Yining, Xinjiang, China beginning in 1995.  With regard to Islam, he discusses life cycle rituals, shrine visits, mahalla life, the meshrep, and Ramadan.  The comparison of the olturash (men's drinking parties) and the meshrep (parties where alcohol drinking is punished on religious grounds) is very interesting. The question of what is truly Islamic is present.  Dautcher quotes a lot of poems and jokes and has too much of a focus on sexuality.
