Offers important insights into Islam, and Sufism more particularly, in Tajikistan, as well as to more general debates about tradition, social memory, temporality, and expressive forms. --Maria Louw, author of Everyday Islam in Post-Soviet Central Asia Drawing on tradition, poetry, and Sufi practice, Gatling shows how the present--and the nostalgia it facilitates--is always produced within a political context that tries to manage cultural expression. A lasting contribution to Central Eurasian studies and Islamic studies that deserves to be widely read. --David Montgomery, author of Practicing Islam: Knowledge, Experience, and Social Navigation in Kyrgyzstan
