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.

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...
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...
评分美国宪法序言的首句是“我们，美国人民……”。那么，“我们是谁？”亨廷顿这本书给出了一个老保守派，也是一个美国文化民族主义者的回答：美国的国家认同应该由美国建国时就确立的的主流文化，即盎格鲁－新教文化来确定。凡认同这套文化的，才是真正的“美国人民”。 美国...
