Description: "The results of the 2000 census are now in, and in Who We Are Now the veteran New York Times journalist Sam Roberts identifies and illuminates the trends and social transformations that are changing the face of America. Ten years ago Roberts wrote the critically acclaimed book Who We Are, which painted America's portrait based on the 1990 census, but the intervening decade has witnessed such dramatic changes that the old self-portrait no longer applies. The United States is an older and more racially and ethnically diverse country than ever before, and the average American household in no longer a nuclear family living in a northeastern or midwestern metropolitan area."--BOOK JACKET.
