Portuguese to English translations [Non-PRO] Social Sciences - Anthropology / terminology -
Portuguese term or phrase:luso-brasileiro e pêlo-duro ,
Is there a formal translation for the above terms within the below historical context.
I suppose "pêlo-duro", could be translated to "hard or thick skinned".
I know these terms are or were used in reference to emmigrants' regional identities, especially in respect to the Italian-Guacho relationship.
Context as follows:
A categoria gaúcho será utilizada metonimicamente querendo englobar nela também o luso-brasileiro, o pêlo-duro , , indígena, o homem campeiro, entre outras diferenças presentes no mundo considerado “dos brasileiros”, da América e que foi sendo conhecido e reconhecido ao longo do processo colonizador
I was not sure of the meaning in Portuguese. If it is not about miscegenation with blacks, then my answer is incorrect. If it IS about blacks, then 'kinky-haired' is the anthropological term.
In response to your question, I am not at all familiar with the term 'Portuguese-Brazilian'. I have always heard 'Luso-Brazilian'. It is used extensively in anthropology and linguistics.
Refere-se ao pêlo do corpo, e não ao cabelo (da cabeça) propriamente dito. Creio que possa ser traduzido como hard-skinned (tough). Todas as referências ao pêlo-duro são de pessoas mestiças (português e brasileiro nativo) duras, resistentes, trabalhadoras.

Explanation: I assume this is similar to "cabelo ruim" - am I correct? If so, this is the expression in English. It's used in anthropology and ALSO in slang - an interesting combination.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thks yr research Muriel, yes this is an anthropological artical,and note yr comments re kinky hair (interesting!), in England we are probably more apt to use the term "fuzzt haired"as in Fuzzy Wuzzy (but that is a bit insulting/racist even.)
What about the "Luso-Brazilian" may I translate that as Portuguse/Brazilian??
User:Ninguém is only an user who is since the beggining saying that "The overwhelming majority of Brazilian Whites are of Portuguese colonial descent" (his words). He already claimed to be of "colonial Portuguese descent" and even used a strange expression (pêlo-duro, something like "hard animal hair" because pêlo means animal hair and duro hard in Portuguese). I never heard about that "pêlo-duro" expression. It seems an internal expression used to describe people of colonial Portuguese ancestry.
