Twenty years later, we are still struggling to fully understand the transformation of Islam in a region that's evolved through a complex and dynamic process, involving diversity in belief and practice, religious authority, and political intervention. This volume sheds light on these crucial questions by bringing together an international group of scholars who offer a fresh perspective on Central Asian states and societies. -- CN - BP63.A34 I84 2017 SN - 9780822981961 SN - 0822981963 SN - 9780822964278 (pbk.)
