Although women's rights, disarmament initiatives, and other contemporary social movements receive substantial critical attention, no new work on American reformism as a whole has been published since the late 1960s.

He traces the evolution of modern reform movements, analyzing their leadership, goals, and achievements, and presents selections from speeches and writings that vividly capture the reforming spirit.David De Leon is the author of 'Everything Is Changing: Contemporary U.S. Movements in Historical Perspective', published 1988 under ISBN 9780275928933 and ISBN 0275928934.
