This study examines how national identity is expressed in contemporary Uzbek youth literature, focusing on the cultural, linguistic, historical, and psychological components reflected in literary narratives. The analysis highlights how modern Uzbek authors integrate traditional values, folklore elements, and representations of the homeland with current issues such as globalization, digital transformation, and migration. Drawing on the theories of Benedict Anderson, Homi Bhabha, Stuart Hall, and leading Uzbek scholars, the research demonstrates that youth literature plays a significant role in shaping cultural consciousness, strengthening national identity, and guiding young readers in negotiating the balance between modernity and tradition.
