In \u003ci\u003eWho We Are Now\u003c\/i\u003e, Sam Roberts identifies and illuminates the trends and social shifts changing the face of America today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmerica is in the midst of a fundamental transformation. The nation's complexion changed significantly over the twentieth century, creating more varied and intermingled identities, and with the baby boomers nearing retirement and their children entering college, the graying of America has been balanced, precariously, by the youth culture. And in the wake of welfare reform in the 1990s, the fate of the working poor has become all the more tenuous. Roberts masterfully weaves stories of individuals from all corners of the country alongside the data from the latest U.S. census, creating a compelling guided tour of the places, personalities, and politics that will shape America as the new century stretches before us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080507080X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805070804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.64w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2004 pg. 678\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2004 pg. 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2004 pg. 145","brand":"Sam Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120263295231,"sku":"9780805070804","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e0a9b39-62aa-4b6d-8231-51c44ef91b13.jpg?v=1687413375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/who-we-are-now-sam-roberts-9780805070804","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
