This topic explores the modern Uzbek diaspora’s cultural identity, institutional support, and psychological adaptation in host countries. It highlights how Uzbeks preserve traditions, language, and religion while facing generational shifts and assimilation pressures. Institutionally, it examines Uzbekistan’s engagement with its diaspora, such as the El-Yurt Umidi Foundation, and the role of informal networks in addressing gaps in host-country support systems. Social-psychologically, it addresses mental health challenges, acculturation, and resilience through community networks. The study provides valuable insights into identity preservation, transnationalism, and the socio-cultural dynamics of migration.
