 Schreiber discusses her new book, "Elaine Black Yoneda: Jewish Immigration, 
 Labor Activism, and Japanese American Exclusion and Incarceration" (Temple 
 University Press, 2021). Elaine Yoneda, daughter of Russian Jewish 
 immigrants to the US, spent eight months in a WWII concentration camp—not 
 in Europe, but in California. She insisted on accompanying her Japanese 
 American husband, Karl Yoneda and their son Tommy when they were required 
 to go to Manzanar. Prior to WWII, Elaine had an important career in labor 
 activism throughout the state of California, including being the only woman 
 on the organizing committee of the 1934 General Strike in San Francisco, 
 and extensive agricultural activism throughout the Central Valley and in 
 Northern California. Hers is truly a California story.\n\nExclusive rights 
 have been optioned by New York based producer Tony Amatullo, for adaptation 
 of Elaine Black Yoneda as a motion picture.\n\n\nMore about the

 serves as Executive Dean of Parsons School of Design at The New School. 
 Previously, she had been based in Oakland, California for twelve years, 
 holding faculty and leadership positions at the California College of the 
 Arts and the San Francisco Art Institute. As a historian, her focus is on 
 women’s labor activism, and activism in visual and print culture. She is
