260 Literatur/Book Reviews / Die Welt des Islams 49 (2009) 248-285 Islam after Communism: Religion and Politics in Central Asia . By Adeeb Khalid. Berkeley, Los Angeles, London: University of California Press, 2007. 241 pp., ISBN 978-0520249271. Devout Societies vs. Impious States? Transmitting Islamic Learning in Russia, Central Asia and China, through the Twentieth Century . By Stéphane Dudoignon (ed.). Berlin: Klaus Schwarz Verlag, 2004 (Islamkundliche Untersuchungen 258). 292 pp., ISBN 978-3879973149. Islamic Popular Literature in Kazakhstan: An Annotated Bibliography . By Allen J. Frank. Hyattsville, Maryland: Dunwoody Press, 2007. 201 pp., ISBN 978-1931546287. This review is about some recent scholarship on modern and contemporary Central Asia. I will discuss three genres of writing: one historical survey, one comparative volume of source studies, and one source book. What these works have in common is that they were written and compiled mostly by scholars whose previous research was on Central Asian Muslim history and literature of the 19 th and/or early 20 th centuries. Their turn to the 20 th and 21 st centuries therefore means that scholarship on current Central Asia is now obtaining new impulses from more specialists trained in the regional languages and in Islamic tradition.
