Elaine Black Yoneda: Jewish Immigration, Labor Activism, and Japanese American Exclusion and Incarceration

This book offers the first criticalbiography of Elaine Black Yoneda, tracing her story alongside the history of labor activism, Communism, women's roles in radical movements, and the story of Japanese American exclusion and incarceration across the twentieth century. As one of the small but not insignificant number of non-Japanese Americans in an internment camp during World War II, Black Yoneda's story illustrates the complex points of solidarity and division within Japanese American and mixed-race family communities from a unique lens.
