More about the book
Exploring the concept of "Uzbekness," this book delves into how cultural identity among Turkic-speaking sedentary populations fosters inclusivity and social networking. It emphasizes that Uzbek identity is defined by territoriality rather than genealogy, allowing for regional variations and voluntary membership. Through historical analysis and ethnographic research, the author examines how Uzbeks conceptualize group boundaries and the social practices that arise from these perceptions, focusing on individual decision-making and the political contexts that influence these processes.
