The birth or Tajikistan : national identity and the origins of the Republic

Describes how, often in the teeth of Uzbek opposition, the Tajiks gained, first an autonomous oblast within Uzbekistan, then an autonomous republic, and finally, in 1929, the status of a full Soviet Union Republic. This work presents documentation of how the idea of a Tajik state came into being and offers a history of the birth of a nation.
