Shahbazi, A. Shapur. "Nowruz: In the Islamic Period." Encyclopaedia Iranica Online (November 15, 2009), http://www.iranica.com/articles/nowruz-ii.

Riasanovsky, V. A. "Juristic Customs of the Kirghiz." In Customary Law of the Nomadic Tribes of Siberia. Tientsin, 1938.
This chapter quotes some of the Kazakh (referred to by Riasanovsky as "Kirghiz (Kirghiz-Kaisaks)") customary laws (e.g. family, property, criminal) that were codified (e.g. "Laws of Khan Tevka") during the Tsarist period. It also reviews some of the Mongol, Muslim, and Russian influences on customary law. On page 24, Riasanovsky states: "As is well known, the Mohammedan religion exerted an influence on the laws of the peoples which professed it. Such influence also existed among the Kirghiz."

Among other holidays in this chapter Adams describes contemporary Qurbon Hayiti, Ramazan Hayiti, and Navruz. In her discussion of the two Eids (Qurbon Hayiti, Ramazan Hayiti), she mentions Ramadan fasting. She describes Navruz as a secular holiday even though it has Zoroastrian elements and fails to mention that many people in Central Asia consider it a Muslim holiday. See, for example, Canfield (1993).
