Adams, Laura. "Public and Private Celebrations: Uzbekistan's National Holidays." In Everyday Life in Central Asia: Past and Present, edited by Jeff Sahadeo and Russell Zanca, 198-212. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2007.

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).
