The national dancers of Uzbekistan are almost always female. In
a society that has been Muslim for nearly seven hundred years, why
and how did unveiled female dancers become a beloved national icon
during the Soviet period? Also, why has their popularity continued
after the Uzbek republic became independent? The author argues that
dancers, as symbolic girls or unmarried females in the Uzbek
kinship system, are effective mediators between extended kin
groups, and the Uzbek nation-state. The female dancing body became
a tabula rasa upon which the state inscribed, and reinscribed,
constructions of Uzbek nationalism.
Doi describes the politics of gender in households as well as
the dominant kinship idioms in Uzbek society. She traces the rise
of national dance as a profession for women during the Soviet
period, prior to which women wore veils and kept purdah. The final
chapter examines emerging notions of Uzbek, as regional and
national groups contest the notion through debates about what
constitutes authentic Uzbek dance. Doi concludes with a comparative
discussion of the power of marginality, which enabled Uzbeks to
maintain a domain where Uzbek culture and history could be honored,
within the Russocentric hegemony of the Soviet state.
