Who Are We?
The Challenges to America's National Identity
by Samuel P. Huntington
Review this book!
In this treatise on immigration and national identity, a highly-esteemed Harvard professor (whose THE CLASH OF CULTURES AND THE REMAKING OF WORLD ORDER was a seminal, though much debated, text) argues that the core culture of America is threatened from within by several groups whose affiliations lie elsewhere. These would include: immigrants, who are not connected to the core culture; members of the liberal elite, who fight against the core culture; and business people he calls "transnationalists," who see themselves as "global" without any national identity. Part analysis, part warning, WHO ARE WE? identifies America's core values and their Anglo-Protestant sources and claims that these values, once freely accepted, now need to be reasserted.

Media Reviews
"Nobody can challenge this book lightly. It is lucid, replete with evidence and relentless in its logic. Furthermore, as Huntington repeatedly points out, its primary thesis is not especially radical....This is THE contemporary political issue, and Huntington is the man you simply have to read."
