This book is an ethnographic and sociolinguistic study of Uzbek
migrants in the capital city of Uzbekistan. The ethnographic
details of the book represent post-Soviet urban realities on the
ground where various forms of belonging clash and kinship ties are
reinforced within social safety networks. Theoretically, it
challenges the existing theories of identity and identification
which often considered the relations between 'We and Them' taking
the 'We' for granted. The book offers in-depth insights into the
communication strategies of migrants, the formation of collective
consciousness and the relations within the 'We' domain. Constructed
around contradictions regarding Uzbek identity and how various
groups relate to one another as different ethnic groups, the
theoretical argument of the book is built through such methods and
analytical tools as strategic rhetoric and discourse analysis,
communication and identity theories, and the analysis of power and
dependence. The book will be of interest to students and scholars
of Central Asian Studies, Migration Studies, and Central Asian
Culture and Society.
