Abstract

The article examines the factors influencing the attitude of South Kazakhstan’s Uzbek toward labor migrants arriving from Uzbekistan. The authors point attention to the part that socialization conditions play in generating various patterns of perceiving “Others” by creating certain expectations and attitudes among the population group that receives the migrants. The perception of migrants is influenced by various facets of identity of the Uzbek of South Kazakhstan, which may be determined either by age or social status.
