Timeline

2005

Weinstein died from brain cancer at his home in Chicago on June 16, 2005, aged 78.

1976

Weinstein lived and worked in San Francisco, Madison, Wisconsin, and Coventry, England, teaching at the University of Warwick's Centre for the Study of Social History, before becoming a central figure among left-wing Democrats in his adopted home of Chicago, where he founded In These Times in 1976. He was inspired by Civil Rights icon Julian Bond, and intellectuals Noam Chomsky and Herbert Marcuse, both teaching at the University of Chicago at the time. He edited the magazine until he retired in 1999.

1966

In 1966, Weinstein ran for the United States House of Representatives from New York's 19th congressional district as an independent socialist candidate, advocating an immediate end to American involvement in the Vietnam War, but he lost, receiving 3.8% of the vote. After founding In These Times, he continued to identify as a socialist, but in his editorials, he encouraged leftists to work within the Democratic Party. In the 1980s, Weinstein said he supported Rosenberg's conviction for espionage, which alienated some on the left.

1948

As a young man, Weinstein supported the 1948 presidential campaign of Henry A. Wallace, who ran on the Progressive Party ticket. The campaign was backed by the Communist Party, which he joined that same year. As a member of the Communist Party, Weinstein made the acquaintance of Julius Rosenberg and was heavily surveilled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, whose file on him ran over 2,000 pages in length. Weinstein left the party in 1956, in objection to the Soviet Union's repression of the Hungarian Revolution.

1926

James Weinstein (July 17, 1926 – June 16, 2005) was an American historian and editor best known as the founder and publisher of In These Times, a progressive magazine started in 1976 in Chicago.
