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
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...
评分塞缪尔＊P＊亨廷顿的上个世纪九十年代中出版的《文明的冲突》是我比较喜欢的一本书，说的是全球范围几大文明圈的分类和相互间的冲突合作关系。而《我们是谁——美国国家特性面临的挑战》是他2004年出版的侧重于美国内社会的书。今天看完，觉得也非常不错。这本书纠正和加深了我...
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...
评分美国是什么，各种肤色语言的拼盘沙拉，还是盎格鲁撒克逊做底的番茄汤。国人写美国，总是雾里看花终隔一层，就像老外的中国学永远让人读完心里发出一声哂笑。那么这本书适合的是想对美国有所了解的初学者，大师下笔，未必晦涩，读完之后，两个美国的框架自然会了然于胸，也会了...
