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.
亨氏最后一书,笔法论述不见佳,但毫不掩饰锋芒,点中许多美国人不自知或不敢面对的民族/种族/文化认同问题。其主张继承自文明冲突论,实为一种将美国例外论中优越感去魅的“结构正常但文化独特民族国家论“:美国与世界其他民族国家基本形态无差别;特殊之处在于以新教伦理立国,种族以盎撒白人为主,继承英格兰民主自由和限制权威之政治社会传统,新教道德伦理、个人主义和工作伦理传统为主,边疆开拓历史进程影响深刻。此种核心已受到大量移民形成固定社群和渗入美国政治、文化多元主义、种族隔阂打破、敌国(苏联)消失、经济政治全球化、宗教与政治关系争持不定等因素冲击甚大,亦开始产生精英倾向多元自由全球化、公众坚守美国本土认同及族群背离美国核心文化的分裂,亨氏呼吁美国人应尽早认识到维护文化核心、弥补宗族隔阂的重要性。
评分廉颇老矣。自60年代以降,美国人见世风日下,而重接受盎格鲁-撒克逊-新教伦理,抵制多元文化主义及其伦理。但于我而言,多元主义的伦理体系如何失败?或者诚如布鲁姆的立论,真因美国人的不思考致多元主义失败?另亨廷顿并未引布鲁姆著作,有趣。
评分不如《文明的冲突》写的好
