| Open Access | “TRAVEL MEMOIRS”: THE EXPRESSION OF JADID THOUGHT IN UZBEK TRAVEL WRITING
Akbar Nurmatov , PhD (Philology), Associate Professor Head of the Department of UNESCO and Specialized Media University of Journalism and Mass Communications of UzbekistanAbstract
This article provides a scholarly analysis of Mahmudkhoja Behbudi’s Travel Memoirs within the context of Uzbek travel writing and the Jadid movement. It argues that through his travel impressions, the author reveals the socio-political, cultural, and educational condition of Turkestan society by employing a comparative method. Behbudi’s travelogue is evaluated not merely as a record of journeys, but as a publicistic source promoting Jadid ideology. The study examines the work’s ideological orientation, stylistic features, and its role in the process of national awakening.
