RESISTANCE AND IDENTITY IN THE POETRY OF ABDULLA AVLONIY: A LITERARY EXPLORATION OF ANTI-COLONIAL SENTIMENT AND CULTURAL AWAKENING

Abstrak

This paper explores the presence of resistance elements in the poetry of Abdulla Avloniy, a prominent figure of Uzbek Jadid literature. Through thematic and stylistic analysis of selected poems, this study identifies how Avloniy utilized poetic expression to challenge colonial oppression, advocate for educational reform, and revive national identity. The research employs close reading methodology within a historical-literary context. The paper contributes to broader discourses on resistance literature in post-colonial studies by situating Uzbek poetic traditions in a global framework of literary dissent.
