The volume's unifying theme, inspired by the scholarly legacy of
Professor Devin DeWeese, and indeed the subject of all the
contributions, is the history of religion among the Muslim peoples
of Inner and Central Asia, grounded in ignored or hitherto unknown
indigenous sources. Individually, and as a whole, the articles pay
tribute to DeWeese's pathbreaking contributions to the disciplines
of history and religious studies by exploring new approaches and
new sources to build on this legacy. The volume pays particular
attention to DeWeese's point d'appui: the centrality of Sufism in
the region's religious, social, and literary history. The volume's
focus is thus twofold: to bring a new set of rich, largely unused
materials into the scholarly domain among specialists on Central
Asia, and to challenge historians of Islam to recognize that
understanding the religious history of Central Asia, and Sufism in
particular, is crucial in evaluating the Islamic world as a whole.
