Présentation de l'éditeur :
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.

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.
'Perhaps the most controversial book to appear in America this season'
Richard Sennett, Guardian
'This is the contemporary political issue, and Huntington is simply the man you have to read' Bryan Appleyard, Literary Review
'What the remaining superpower thinks of itself determines how it relates to the rest of the world. That - apart from the intrinsic merits of careful scholarship and elegant style - is what makes Samuel Huntingdon's Who Are We? essential reading'
Roy Hattersley, Observer
'Samuel Huntington has a knack for giving sharp voice to issues which have been drifting inchoate in other people's minds…the issues Huntington raises are real, serious and possibly urgent. His call for a more candid debate about the essence of American identity will be welcomed by the many who share his broad concerns'
Raymond Seitz, The Times
'Samuel Huntington has written a book that poses some of the critical questions facing our nation . . .[and] tackles these questions with passionate intensity'
