Gcnnadii E. Markov, Traditional societies of Central Asia.
The first agriculturists - Uzbeks and Tadzhiks - appeared in Central Asia when the former local sedentary population intermingled with cattle breeders who had arrived in those regions. This fact cxplaias the persistence up to a few recent decades of strong patriarchal traditions in the way of life of urban and rural dwellers. Even in our days we can observe the survivals of these traditions in the ideological domain.
The Kazakhs were nomads until the eighteenth century. Some isolated groups began to settle down in the course of the nineteenth century but this process was finalized only in the 1930's. Certain nomadic Turkmen tribes were sedentarized as from the beginning of the sixteenth century, but the majority converted to agriculture only in the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is also during that same period that the Karakalpaks took to agriculture.
Kazakhs, Turkmcns and Karakalpaks who persisted in their nomadic way of life at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries preserved numerous nomadic traditions. These traditions arc still alive in the material and spiritual culture of these peoples, especially among the rural population, though some of them arc also observed among city dwellers. The prescriptions of Orthodox Islam are respected well enough among the Uzbeks and the Tadzhiks, and less among the Kazakhs, the Turkmcns and the Karakalpaks. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
