This paper will examine the origin and evolution of the terms “cholo” and “criollo,” as well as their verbalization into “acholar(se)” and “acriollar(se),” first included in the Dictionario de Peruanismos [Dictionary of Peruvian Idioms] of Juan de Arona in 1883. We will observe the evolution of both words from their emergence in the context of the strong colonial structure inherited by the XIXth-Century Creole Republic until the mid-twentieth century, when several socio-political changes led to a progressive deconstruction of that conservative thought in Peruvian society. In this regard, not only will we appeal to a history of the language as etymological tracing of such words, but also to a culturalist post-colonial review concerned about the transformations of contemporary Peruvian society.
