Studies on Sufism in Central Asia reproduces 12 studies which
explore previously unstudied sources with an eye to identifying
prominent developments in the social and organizational history of
the major Sufi groupings of the region; The chronological range
reflected in the studies included here runs from the 13th century
to the 17th, with a somewhat uneven distribution between the
earlier half of the period (13th-15th centuries, with six articles,
Nos. II, IV, V, VII, VIII, and XI) and the later half (16th-17th
centuries, with four pieces, Nos. III, IX, X, XII), and two studies
(Nos. I and VI) spanning the entire period. In terms of specific
Sufi traditions, the studies included here reflect DeWeese's
attention to groups and individuals that might be identified
(despite the focus of some of his more recent work on questioning
the use and meaning of such labels) as KubravAE", YasavAE", and
KhwAEjagAEnAE"/NaqshbandAE", with four studies focused entirely on
'KubravAE"' circles (Nos. I, II, V, XI), five on 'YasavAE"'
subjects (Nos. III, VII, IX, X, XII), and one on the KhwAEjagAEn
(No. VIII), as well as one dealing with YasavAE"-NaqshbandAE"
relations (No. VI) and another exploring a group that falls outside
these labels (No. IV). KhwAEjagAEnAE" and NaqshbandAE" history has
a strong 'background' presence, nevertheless, in five other
articles (Nos. I, III, IV, VII, and IX), reflecting the steady rise
of the NaqshbandAE"ya to predominance among Central Asian Sufi
traditions.
