ചോള
definition
noun
a couple of chola girls
a Latin American woman or girl with Indian blood; a mestiza.
example
a couple of 'chola' girls
Their move into the city could mean a move from an identity as an Indian to an identity as a 'chola' , if they so chose.
The fact that even the 'cholas' punish La Cristina for her disrespect demonstrates the level to which the women have assimilated their community's patriarchal values.
Her most offensive transgression against the community, however, is her decision to date a non-cholo man, a decision that infuriates both her parents and the other 'cholas' .
In La Cristina's case, the other 'cholas' persecute and ostracize her out of jealousy and an inability to imagine a more inclusive notion of chola identity.
Chicheras were better off economically than most 'cholas' and certainly than Indians, and their cultural connection to chicha gave them social advantages within the chola community.
