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.

读后感
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Samuel Huntington（1927-2008）的最后一本书(2004)，描述美国国民对国民身份，国家精神和国家认同的逐渐消解。原因有三，苏联的解体导致国民危机感消失和向心力瓦解（无敌国外患国恒亡）；旧的WASP（White Anglo-Saxon Protestant）文化与大量移民（尤以拉美裔为主）的文化与...
