 e Hall\, UCLA Campus\n\nFree and open to the public\n\nWhat were the ethni
 c dimensions of membership in the armed struggle against Brazil's military
  dictatorship during the 1960's and 1970's?  By focusing on Shizuo Ozawa\,
  the feared Mario Japa of the Brazil Popular Revolutionary Vanguard\, Prof
 essor Lesser will analyze the role of ethnicity in Brazil and suggest that
  Japanese-Brazilian\, more than other minority group participants on the l
