In his seminal work The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, Samuel Huntington argued provocatively and presciently that with the end of the cold war, "civilizations" were replacing ideologies as the new fault lines in international politics. Now in his controversial new work, Who Are We?, Huntington focuses on an identity crisis closer to home as he examines the impact other civilizations and their values are having on our own country. America was founded by British settlers who brought with them a distinct culture, says Huntington, including the English language, Protestant values, individualism, religious commitment, and respect for law. The waves of immigrants that later came to the United States gradually accepted these values and assimilated into America's Anglo-Protestant culture. More recently, however, our national identity has been eroded by the problems of assimilating massive numbers of primarily Hispanic immigrants and challenged by issues such as bilingualism, multiculturalism, the devaluation of citizenship, and the "denationalization" of American elites. September 11 brought a revival of American patriotism and a renewal of American identity, but already there are signs that this revival is fading. Huntington argues the need for us to reassert the core values that make us Americans. Timely and thought-provoking, Who Are We? is an important book that is certain to shape our national conversation about who we are.

讀後感
改名称两个方面： 1，原为“我们是谁”，现为“谁是美国人”。我们是谁，译得感觉生动些。而谁是美国人，应该准确些，这种译法，国内其他学者较为认可。 2，国家特性，现译作国民特性，也是作作者经过反复思考的，但对其中不少地方，感觉译得也不是太尽如人意。 不过，这本书...
評分据说是亨廷顿最后的几本书之一，因此很吸引我的眼球，人越老往往看问题也就越老到。亨廷顿似乎与此相反。他的研究范围是随着年岁增加而括广了，但经典性却降低了。从《变动社会的政治次序》研究政治到《文明的冲突与世界次序的重建》研究文明再到《第三波》研究民主，对亨廷顿...
評分美国宪法序言的首句是“我们，美国人民……”。那么，“我们是谁？”亨廷顿这本书给出了一个老保守派，也是一个美国文化民族主义者的回答：美国的国家认同应该由美国建国时就确立的的主流文化，即盎格鲁－新教文化来确定。凡认同这套文化的，才是真正的“美国人民”。 美国...
評分 評分塞缪尔＊P＊亨廷顿的上个世纪九十年代中出版的《文明的冲突》是我比较喜欢的一本书，说的是全球范围几大文明圈的分类和相互间的冲突合作关系。而《我们是谁——美国国家特性面临的挑战》是他2004年出版的侧重于美国内社会的书。今天看完，觉得也非常不错。这本书纠正和加深了我...
