Fernando Morais' 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 Brazil's fraught
racial democracy.
