The Identity of Ossetians in Georgia: the Example of Lagodekhi and Kaspi
Abstract
This article focuses on
the current situation of identity, relations with Georgian society and those
with North-South Ossetia of Ossetians in Shida-Kartli and Kakheti. Generally, Ossetians
in Georgia are integrated with high degree. In this condition they define
themselves as minority. They make efforts to keep cultural border with
Georgians against assimilation through things
such as demand of developmet of cultural rights and there is certain distance
between Ossetians and Georgians. They evaluate North-South Ossetia as “the
motherland of their ancestors, culture and nation”. Therefore Ossetians in
Georgia have identity like “diaspora identity”. But because of the tensions
between “motherland”-“host country”, they emphasize “the unity of Georgians and
Ossetians” for legitimacy of being in Georgia and want easy pass between
Georgia and North-South Ossetia rather than the independence of South Ossetia.
Beside “diaspora identity” has more developed among Ossetians in Lagodekhi due
to ethnic policy of the USSR.
