Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / sociology | | Spanish term or phrase: aymará | I assume that this is some local term in Bolivia meaning something that is not positive. Does anybody know what a translation for it might be? They labeled the president this name and since the others seem to have a negative connotation, I assume this one does as well.
Context:
Evo Morales, antes de ser presidente de Bolivia fue dirigente sindical y activo participante en las protestas populares que derrocaron a los gobiernos que le precedieron.
Los medios no lo admitieron como portavoz reconocido hasta que el Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) demostró que podía paralizar el país. Hasta entonces su mensaje era relegado a la periferia del sistema informativo. Se le adjudicó una etiqueta: sindicalista cocalero, aymará y de izquierda radical. |
| | | in this case: Indian | Explanation:
Aymara is an important Indian group of Bolivia (like, say, the Navajo in USA) - and their language is very significative.
But in this very context, the connotation is negative, sort of "uncivilized Indian" or so. |
