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.

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...
评分老亨本人似乎是对American Creed的推崇转移至American Culture的推崇的，60、70年代高呼美国大熔炉/番茄汤的一代现在甚至连沙拉都不愿意做了，留下lettuce和American beef，墨西哥橄榄能不加就不加。 本书中，亨廷顿提出national identity这一依然非常建构主义色彩的概念。他对...

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...

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？？？
评分川普上台火了《乡下人的悲歌》，相比之下这本更容易理解下层白人的愤怒。作为欧洲白人，他们本是美国的核心人群，黑人是他们的奴隶，华人是他们的劳工，日本人是手下败将，菲律宾是殖民地，美国的辉煌都是他们创造的。现如今，移民源源不断涌入美国，少数族裔不仅数量上超越了欧洲白人，还在就业入学等方面享有特权，种族平等的政治正确让少数族裔的话语权远超底层白人，少数族裔享受了美国的好，还吃里扒外，对美国及母国有双重效忠，不是为了美国利益着想，为了母国利益充当说客左右美国大选。所以他们不爽，要起来反抗，把川普选出来，建边界墙，限制移民，对吃里扒外的人进行清洗，让那些只重视自身利益不重视美国利益的跨国公司把就业机会收回国内。让美国再次伟大，实际上是让美国白人重夺美国主导权。
评分写得系统老到清晰，洞见力一般，新意不多。
