* * *latifundio nmlarge rural estateLATIFUNDIOA latifundio is a huge estate belonging to a single landowner, of the kind found in southern Spain and in many Latin American countries. They have their origins in periods of rapid conquest of territory – from the Moors in Spain in the Middle Ages, and by the conquistadors in Latin America. Historically, they are associated with backward farming methods and poverty among the workers living on them. This is because most of the rich landowners lived away from their estates and were not over-concerned with productivity, leaving the running of the estates to their foremen. The social problems caused by latifundios led to agitation for land reform in many countries. Despite land reform programmes, and more dramatic solutions such as the Mexican and Cuban revolutions, the legacy of the latifundio still prevails today in many countries.* * *m large estate* * *latifundio nm: large estate -

These can also be made of other materials such as wood, china or bone. The maté is drunk through a type of metal straw with a perforated bulbous end called a “bombilla”. Maté is a stimulant, contains various nutrients, and is held to be good for the digestion. It was drunk by the Guarani Indians long before the Spanish conquest. The conquistadors took to the habit, and also developed it as a commercial crop. Drinking maté is an everyday habit today for the majority of people from all social classes in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, and it is felt by many to be an essential part of being from the River Plate region.* * *I adj mattII m1 en ajedrez mate2 L.Am.

In Peru, something between a quarter and a third of the population use Quechua, and the position in Bolivia and Ecuador is similar. It is also spoken in northern Chile and Argentina, and southern Colombia. Quechua was the language of the Inca empire, so the variety spoken in the Inca capital of Cuzco was the most important of its many dialects. The number of speakers declined dramatically in the centuries following the Spanish conquest, but in more recent years there have been official attempts to promote the language. As with the Aztec language Nahuatl, many Quechua words passed into Spanish, and on to many other languages. For example, in English we find “condor”, “jerky” (n, = dried meat) and “quinine”. -

Although the Indians theoretically remained free subjects of the Spanish Crown, in practice they were enslaved to the encomenderos (those having encomienda rights). One of its most celebrated opponents was the Dominican friar and former encomendero Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas (1474-1566). In 1542, in response to protests from the Church, and fearful of the growing power of the encomenderos, Charles V brought in laws aimed at phasing out the system. The Spanish settlers rebelled, but the Crown held fast to the central principle that encomienda rights should not be hereditary.* * *1) (Hist) control over land and Indians granted to an encomendero 1)2) (AmL) (Corresp) package (AmE), parcel (BrE)* * *1) (Hist) control over land and Indians granted to an encomendero 1)2) (AmL) (Corresp) package (AmE), parcel (BrE)* * ** * *
