In his new book, the author of THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS turns his attention from international cultural divides to the cultural rifts in America. The patriotic response to the events of September 11 only highlighted the loss of American identity at home, says Huntington, and already patriotic fervour has begun to subside. The United States was founded by British settlers who brought with them a distinct culture including the English language, Protestant values, individualism, religious commitment and respect for law. Waves of immigrants later came to America, but they gradually accepted these values and assimilated into the Anglo-Protestant culture. More recently, however, national identity has been eroded by the problems of assimilating massive numbers of primarily Hispanic immigrants; bilingualism, multiculturalism, the devaluation of citizenship and the 'denationalisation' of American elites. To counterpoint this, Huntington draws attention to the beginnings of a revival of American identity in a post-September 11 world where countries face unprecedented challenges to national security. WHO ARE WE? is an important work of political, historical and cultural inquiry that, like Huntington's previous book, is certain to spark a lively debate.

读后感
很早以前在大学里读过亨廷顿的一本《变革社会的政治秩序》，读完以后对亨廷顿敏锐的视角和精辟的分析佩服不已。一本60年代写于美国的书籍，居然这么贴近于中国的实际，其中很多关于发展中国家现代化的论述，简直就是对中国80－90年代的直接描写。曾经无数次的想买这本书，...
评分In his book: “Who Are We? The Challenges to America’s National Identity”, Samuel P. Huntington showed his strong worries with the American identity. According to this book, Huntington thought because of lack of common enemies and opposites, the cohesio...
评分改名称两个方面： 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...
评分“美国不是大熔炉，而是油炸的滋滋作响的炒锅”——p143 美国的国家特性，由美国信念和盎格鲁-新教文化组成的政治特性与文化特性自20世纪之后陷入了无比尴尬的局面。从亨廷顿的建议出发，要重振美国特性与美国公民身份认同，就必须重拾“美国信念”作为政治准绳和“盎格鲁-新教...
评分1. 亨廷顿屌啊，首先区分定居者和移民，然后直言不讳说美国并不是移民之国，美国特性来源于早期英国清教徒定居者烙下的盎格鲁-新教文化，后来的移民都要加入这一框框，放弃自己本来的文化与信仰，才算是同化成功，美国共同体才能稳定且牢固。之后直抒胸臆表达对大量西语移民涌...
