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.
这个学期在学校选修了美国史,老师让用的教材是埃里克方纳的给我自由。刚开始奇怪的是,美国史跟自由有什么关系?但是现在明白,美国历史就是一部关于自由的斗争的历史——开始是殖民者与印第安人的自由之争,接着是殖民者与英国政府的自由之争,然后是白人与黑人的自由之...
评分改名称两个方面: 1,原为“我们是谁”,现为“谁是美国人”。我们是谁,译得感觉生动些。而谁是美国人,应该准确些,这种译法,国内其他学者较为认可。 2,国家特性,现译作国民特性,也是作作者经过反复思考的,但对其中不少地方,感觉译得也不是太尽如人意。 不过,这本书...
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...
评分“美国不是大熔炉,而是油炸的滋滋作响的炒锅”——p143 美国的国家特性,由美国信念和盎格鲁-新教文化组成的政治特性与文化特性自20世纪之后陷入了无比尴尬的局面。从亨廷顿的建议出发,要重振美国特性与美国公民身份认同,就必须重拾“美国信念”作为政治准绳和“盎格鲁-新教...
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...
