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
一本政治上错误的书。 亨廷顿否认“美国是由移民组成”的观念，提出了美国最早的建立者不是Immigrants而是Settlers。两者的区别在于：Immigrants指外来者加入一个已经发展完全的文化中；Settlers指一批人来到一个文化空白的地方建立起一套（从原属国带来的或者自创的）...
评分按照中国人的思维，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...
评分老亨最后一本书，结合川铺上台看颇有预言意义。个人总结下要点。 1美国是盎格撒 清教（自由平等公民权等）为核心价值的宗教国家。 2美国并不是由移民建立的国家而是由英国清教开拓者建立的。所谓的移民熔炉是要把后来的移民溶为接受美国核心价值的人而不是吸收接受移民的固有价...

不如《文明的冲突》写的好
评分最后一部分看的我全程黑人问号脸？？？
评分我连打一星的冲动都有。。。
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。
评分我连打一星的冲动都有。。。
