Nation Making in the Early Soviet Union: Uzbekistan Reconsidered.



Uzbekistan appeared on the map in 1924. Adeeb Khalid traces its emergence in the interstices between Soviet nationalities policies and the strivings of the Central Asian Muslim intelligentsia. Understanding the origins of the Uzbek national project also sheds light on the place of Uzbekistan in the wider Central Asian context and is thus of profound contemporary relevance.
