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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSam Roberts \u003c\/b\u003ehas been a reporter, columnist, and editor at \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e since 1983 and is also the host of \u003ci\u003eNew York Close-Up\u003c\/i\u003e, a nightly television interview program on the cable news station New York 1.
