The New America and the Rise of the Obama Generation

The United States is being transformed. The election of Barack Obama is proof of that. But what do we really know about the forces shaping the Obama era? Mark Little follows millions of 21st-century pioneers to a new frontier, way out West. In the sprawling new cities of the Sunbelt states, he chronicles the people and places which have turbo-charged the American dream.

The New America is a story of hope, but it also reveals the dark side of an historic transformation and the economic crisis which threatens to engulf it.

Praise for Mark Little:

'...one of this country's most astute observers of Americana' Myles Dungan, Irish Mail on Sunday
