An
autonomous country of Karakalpakstan is located on the territory of Uzbekistan
and has its own specific culture and lifestyle. Although information about this
small country is rare, some of this information bears the signs of profound
dependence on ideology. Thus, a novel Karakalpak
Kızı (1963) (Karakalpak’s Daughter)
by Karakalpak writer Tolepbergen Kaipbergenov is heavily influenced by the
fundamental ideology of the country at that time. The novel depicts
Karakalpaks’ life on the brink of Bolshevik revolutionary change on the wide
territory of Central Asia. However, this life in the novel does not reflect
Karakalpak traditions accurately. This study analyses the main differences
between Karakalpak culture and Kaipbergenov’s novel Karakalpak Kızı. The analysis of the novel is focused on such
elements like women’s role in Karakalpak society and Karakalpak folk culture.
