具体描述
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
按照中国人的思维，在别人的地盘上，老老实实本本分分，别到处惹事生非总是不会错的。而事实上，在美国的华人华裔群体也确实扮演着这种中坚力量的角色。大多数的华人都是勤勤恳恳的典型，力求不拖社会的后腿，也不做出头鸟而成为攻击的对象。 这还是文化使然吧，在...
评分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...
评分 评分这个学期在学校选修了美国史，老师让用的教材是埃里克方纳的给我自由。刚开始奇怪的是，美国史跟自由有什么关系？但是现在明白，美国历史就是一部关于自由的斗争的历史——开始是殖民者与印第安人的自由之争，接着是殖民者与英国政府的自由之争，然后是白人与黑人的自由之...
