Abstract

The 20th century witnessed various movements resisting colonial or oppressive forces, with literature serving as a crucial tool for expressing dissent, preserving cultural identity, and mobilizing communities. While seemingly disparate geographically and politically, American resistance movements and Uzbek Jadidism shared some notable similarities in their literary approaches. This response explores these similarities, focusing on themes of cultural preservation, social critique, and the role of education in shaping national identity.
