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“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...
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...
