UZBEK LITERATURE.
Abstract
Annotation: This academic article explores the evolution of Uzbek literature
from its roots in ancient oral traditions to the modern literary era. It begins with an
examination of heroic epics such as "Alpomish" and continues through the classical
Golden Age under Alisher Navoi, who laid the foundations of Chagatai literature. The
paper analyzes literary developments during the periods of the Bukhara, Khiva, and
Kokand Khanates, followed by the Jadid reformist movement and the impact of Soviet
ideology on literary production. It also delves into the revival of national literature after
Uzbekistan’s independence in 1991, highlighting the emergence of postmodernist
techniques, themes of identity and spirituality, and the growing role of female authors.
Central themes include patriotism, historical memory, social criticism, and the
enduring connection between literature and Uzbek cultural identity. The paper
emphasizes how Uzbek writers continue to engage with global literary trends while
preserving their national literary heritage.
