The traditional Turkmen economy is divided between agriculturalists and pastoralists. Turkmens are predominantly Sunni Muslims. This file contains one document, a cultural summary by William A. Wood that was originally published in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures, 1994. The cultural summary includes information on history, settlement patterns, economy, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion. |
