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
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...
评分 评分读完SAMUEL P. HUNTINGTON的《我们是谁？》，对美国有了跟以前完全不同的认识。民主，自由，东方人的梦想。曾经我是这么以为的，曾经他们告诉我的，也只是这样而已。但是这本书，让我了解了至少看上去真实的美国。突然间就联想到了，我曾经沉浸于其中的，游戏。文化现象反映文...
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...
评分社科类的文章和著作总是为人诟病的一点，就是有“马后炮”的嫌疑，我们用理论和模式来构建和总结人类社会发展的状态与规律。当但我们去预测去构思未来人类社会发展时，总是出现理论与现实发展的分裂。这一点就连马克思都曾经嘲弄过，以前的哲学家总是解释这个世界，马克思便提...
