【 摘 要 】

Located in the Valley of the Paraiba in Rio de Janeiro State, the city of Valença stood out in the eighteen hundreds as one of the main producers of coff ee of the Brazilian Empire. Th e society that was formed there was characterized, among other things, by the set up of a network of power and sociabilities, making use of several strategies and alliances. An example of this fact was Manoel Antonio Esteves, a businessman of Portuguese origin that, fi rst in Vassouras and then, after his marriage, in Valença was able to articulate himself in several areas and became a respected citizen in this region. His trajectory is illustrative of a local political culture that structured itself in social networks through power relations that, here, are not only related to the classical historiographic threads that had the State as its single object. Th e individuals, even if disconnected from political parties, also organized themselves weaving such relations among themselves, in the institutions and with other individuals. Manoel Antonio Esteves is one more of these elements that, from the letters that he left, allow us to do a deeper analysis of this political culture from the eighteen hundreds.
