| Summary: | The article studies the different types of literature from Central Asia in the interwar period as a source for the political history of the region, in particular from the point of view of intercommunitarian relations within the USSR as well as those concerning the Islamic world. The period under study here goes from 1924 with the carving up of Central Asia according to ethno-territorial divisions realised under the aegis of Stalin, up to 1936 with the purges and liquidation of all alternative modes of thought. Uzbek literature from those years brings to the fore the permanence of a political Turkish-Islamic identity, the redefinition of intercommunitarian relations (between Muslims and non-Muslims) and, in a more general way, the revitalisation of Muslim liberalism. These questions are treated through the study of Čulpân's (1897-1938) prose. His work, from 1924 until his death, is dominated by two central ideas: the political solidarity of Turkish and Muslim people in the ex-Russian Empire as well as the continuation by the Soviet regime in Central Asia of the politics of territorial plundering and economic segregation carried out by the colonial administration under the last Romanovs. |
