Campesino
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Campesino may refer to
- A simple farmer is referred to as a campesino in Spanish. While English has a possible equivalent, peasant, this word has negative connotations that the Spanish word doesn't have. This is because in the Hispanic world, many people, referred to as campesinos, still survive from subsistence farming, whereas subsistence farming died out in the white anglophone world at least a century ago. Hence, it is customary in English to refer to subsistence farmers in Latin America as campesinos.
- Valentin González, known as El Campesino, was a military leader of the Second Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War.
