Published by The Weekly People, New York, 1951

About this Item

Folio. A 1951 bound volume of 52 Weekly People newspapers, with hundreds of headline news reports from around the world and the U.S., most dealing in some way with the Socialist viewpoint of issues of the day, such as US Involvement in Korea, Mau Tse-Tung, Soviet expansion, etc. The People was an official organ of the Socialist Labor Party of America (SLP), a weekly newspaper established in New York City in 1891. The paper is best remembered as a vehicle for the ideas of Daniel DeLeon (1852?1914), the dominant ideological leader of the SLP from the 1890s until the time of his death. The paper became a daily in 1900, reverting to weekly publication in 1914 for budgetary reasons. Publication of the paper was moved to Palo Alto, California, during its later years, finally terminating publication in 2008. Its 117 years of continuous publication make The People the longest running socialist newspaper in the history of American political radicalism. Three-quarter tan cloth over black cloth. Square tight binding. Paper somewhat tanned.
