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.

读后感
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...

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...

评分川普上台火了《乡下人的悲歌》，相比之下这本更容易理解下层白人的愤怒。作为欧洲白人，他们本是美国的核心人群，黑人是他们的奴隶，华人是他们的劳工，日本人是手下败将，菲律宾是殖民地，美国的辉煌都是他们创造的。现如今，移民源源不断涌入美国，少数族裔不仅数量上超越了欧洲白人，还在就业入学等方面享有特权，种族平等的政治正确让少数族裔的话语权远超底层白人，少数族裔享受了美国的好，还吃里扒外，对美国及母国有双重效忠，不是为了美国利益着想，为了母国利益充当说客左右美国大选。所以他们不爽，要起来反抗，把川普选出来，建边界墙，限制移民，对吃里扒外的人进行清洗，让那些只重视自身利益不重视美国利益的跨国公司把就业机会收回国内。让美国再次伟大，实际上是让美国白人重夺美国主导权。
评分写得系统老到清晰，洞见力一般，新意不多。
