Zambo

Zambo

Zambo is a term derived from Iberian words, originally used to label African and Amerindian descendants. It has remained in common use in Latin America in more generic and often reckless terms, even to designate anyone with an African origin. In the caste system in force in the colonial period in Latin America, the term was originally applied only to the children of an African parent and an amerindian or to the children of two parentish parents; in addition to the primary typology of interaction between European and indigenous peoples, a hierarchical social stratification was established resulting from the degree of mixing of the two ethnicities, with a myriad of other terms enclosed in special lists with illustrations that described and standardize from the sixteenth century New World Colonial Cases the social position and race of belonging, such as Cambujo, the son of an American parent and a zambo. Over time, the word zambo has progressively assumed a lesser meaning by summing up all the mixing types between Africans and Americans. Zambo è un termine derivato dalle parlate iberiche, originariamente usato per etichettare persone di discendenza africana e amerindia. È rimasto nell'uso comune in America Latina, in termini più generici e spesso spregiativi, anche per designare chiunque abbia un'origine africana. Nel sistema di caste in vigore nel periodo coloniale in America Latina, il termine veniva originariamente applicato soltanto per i figli di un genitore africano e un amerindio o per i figli di due genitori zambo; oltre alla tipologia primaria di interazione tra le genti europee e indios, venne stabilita una stratificazione gerarchica sociale derivante dal grado di mescolanza delle due etnìe, con una miriade di altri termini incasellati in apposite liste con illustrazioni che descrivevano e standardizzavano a partire dal XVI secolo nelle Caste Coloniali del Nuovo Mondo la posizione sociale e la razza di appartenenza, come ad esempio Cambujo, il figlio di un genitore amerindio e di uno zambo. Col tempo il termine zambo ha progressivamente assunto un significato meno ristretto andando ad riassumere in sé tutte le tipologie di mescolanza tra africani e amerindi.
