Modern Approach to Jadidism and Literature of Jadids

Abstract

The movements of Jadidism and the approach to the literature of the Jadids define a significant period in the last quarter-century. Initially, simple articles and works of Jadid literature were published in newspapers and journals. This period is crucial as it marks a new phase in the study of Kodiriy, Fitrat, and Chulpon’s works, serving as a pioneering step. Literary scholars began to approach these works not just from a literary-aesthetic point of view, but also from a broader cultural perspective. This foundation helps describe the national renaissance period of literature.

This document provides information about 16 prominent representatives of the Jadid movements and literature, including figures like Ismoilbek Gasprinskiy, Makhmudkhoja Bekhbudiy, Munavvar Kori Abdurashidkhon ugli, Abdurauf Fitrat, and others. The significance of this information is based on concrete opinions, factual searches, and sources from the author. The role of Chulpon and Jadidism in the literature is highlighted through articles, pamphlets, and fundamental research, emphasizing their sociopolitical histories, works, and lives, bringing their importance and role to the readers.

A key aspect of these works is their contribution to our self-realization, offering extensive information about the devoted figures of the nation and their struggles for independence. The influence of their efforts on our culture is evident. Although Jadid works were seldom published before the 2000s, they have since gained popularity, leading to numerous studies. This period has thus become known as the “literature of the Jadids” and the “national renaissance of Uzbek literature.”
