Memory And History Of Forced Migration Of Kyrgyz To China (1916)
Abstract
This article examines the issue of forced migration of Kyrgyz to China. This article does not aim to give a detailed analysis of the political situation regarding its history and all its complexity, but it attempts to reconstruct the memory of the forced migration of Kyrgyz refugees to China based on narratives. The article is written based on field research carried out in China, where Kyrgyz settled as a result of forced migration and live in densely populated areas. Today, Kyrgyz refugees occupy 7 Chinese villages with a national status. The bases of the study are the materials of field observations of 2 Kyrgyz national villages of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Region, in Kulzha and Nylky. The main objective of the article is to study how the memory of the uprising formed in Kyrgyz living in China. The study concluded that the textbooks on the history of Kyrgyzstan have not covered forced migration, but the memory of this violence has been preserved with pain and bitterness in the hearts of ordinary people living in China.
