      abstract = {Fernando Morai's Dirty Hearts is a tour de force of  literary journalism that investigates the discriminatory  treatment of the Japanese immigrant community in Brazil  during World War II and in the aftermath of Japan's defeat  and unconditional surrender. In contrast to the internment  camps and compulsory military service that characterized  the Japanese American wartime experience, this book traces  the rise to power of Shindo Renmei, an ultranationalist  secret society that formed in response to the anti-Japanese  measures enacted under Getulio Vargas Estado Novo. Based in  Sao Paulo, the group used terrorism, propaganda campaigns,  and conspiracy theories to violently enforce its narrative  of Japan's victory. These traumatic events nevertheless  brought about a permanent transformation in the Japanese  Brazilian community from a largely insular colony with  close ties to its imperial homeland to its new identity as  an ethnic minority in postwar Brazils fraught racial  democracy.--},
