ResumoIn the nineteenth century, the Portuguese granted “friendly nations” access to Brazilian ports that were located within ancient indigenous territories in the Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Rainforest). Along with the arrival of new consumer goods came British technology and ideas that reconfigured the structure and organization of towns, including the imposition of a way of life on the new working class that settled in these new towns. The purpose of this article is to show, through a study of the material cultural legacy left by the British in the state of São Paulo, the impacts of this legacy in reconfiguring urban spaces and in the formation of the Paulistana (São Paulo) culture. This is emergent through an evaluation of the forms of English heritage recognized by the São Paulo Council for the Defense of Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist Heritage (Conselho de Defesa do Patrimônio Histórico, Arqueológico, Artístico e Turístico, CONDEPHAAT) in order to understand the broader impact of the English influence. Subsequently, consideration is given to the results of an extensive Archaeological Historic case study carried out in village de Paranapiacaba, a working-class village which was located in the São Paulo municipality, southeastern Brazil during the nineteenth century and the site of one of the first cases of salaried workers during slavery in Brazil.
