Khalid, Adeeb. Islam After Communism: Religion and Politics in Central Asia. Berkley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 2007.

In response to 9/11, and perhaps works written on political Islam in Central Asia after 9/11, this book provides an introduction to contemporary (and historical) Islam in Central Asia with a focus more on politics than popular religious practices.  Khalid argues that Islam in the region is secular not political and that it forms part of the region's national identity.  His contemporary research is focused mostly on Uzbekistan.
