SUMMARY:Yiddish in the Land of Sunshine: Race\, Labor\, and Jewish Radicalism in Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Yiddish in the Land of Sunshine examines how a cohort of young Jewish radicals from Eastern Europe helped reshape multiracial left-wing activism in Southern California. It traces their migration from the Russian Empire to Los Angeles and their involvement in labor and left-wing movements. Focusing especially on Boyle Heights\, the book explores how the neighborhood’s diverse communities shaped Yiddish public culture and Jewish political organizing. It highlights the relationships\, collaborations\, and tensions that emerged as Jewish radicals built multiracial coalitions with Mexican\, Asian\, and African American neighbors. Drawing on previously untranslated Yiddish sources\, the book challenges traditional Jewish immigration narratives centered on the Northeast and places Jewish workers in the American West at the center of Jewish and American history. Ultimately\, it demonstrates how Eastern European Jewish radicals and trade unionists contributed to Los Angeles through innovative organizing and helped shape the city’s evolving racial and political landscape. \nSpeakers:\nCaroline Luce: Caroline Luce is Project Director with the UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment and formerly Chief Curator of Mapping Jewish Los Angeles\, a project of the UCLA Leve Center for Jewish Studies. \nModerator: Todd Presner (UCLA) \nDate: Wednesday\, November 10\, 2026 \nTime: 4:00 PM \nLocation: Royce Hall 306 \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:Labor Studies NOW Speaker Series with Rhacel S. Parreñas
DESCRIPTION:A SLAVE NEXT DOOR: Eudocia Pulido and the Justification of Slavery \nIn 2017\, Alex Tizon confessed in The Atlantic that his family had kept Eudocia Tomas Pulido\, known as Lola\, as an unpaid servant for 56 years. Many readers were outraged. Yet the historian Vicente Rafael defended the arrangement as Philippine culture\, and People magazine portrayed Pulido as a beloved member of the family. Why did so many justify her enslavement? This talk revisits her story through the accounts of relatives Tizon never consulted. It shows how the language of love and family sustains slavery\, both in Pulido’s case and for the migrant domestic workers bound to their employers today. \nDate: Wednesday\, November 18\, 2026 \nTime: 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM \nLocation: On Campus\, Location TBD \nRSVP HERE
