Studies on Sufism in Central Asia is written by Devin A. DeWeese and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1409443922 (ISBN 10) and 9781409443926 (ISBN 13).

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 from the 13th to the 17th century. In terms of specific Sufi traditions they reflect DeWeese's attention to groups and individuals that might be identified as Kubrav?, Yasav?, and Khw?jag?n?/Naqshband. Four studies focus entirely on 'Kubrav?' circles, five on 'Yasav?' subjects with one each on the Khw?jag?n, Yasav?-Naqshband? relations and another exploring a group that falls outside these labels.
