Who are we?

Book • 2005
In *Who Are We? The Challenges to America's National Identity*, Samuel P. Huntington argues that America's national identity is under threat from various factors, including large-scale immigration, particularly from Hispanic countries, bilingualism, multiculturalism, and the 'denationalization' of American elites.

He contends that the core values of American identity, such as the English language, Protestant values, individualism, and respect for law, are being eroded.

Huntington advocates for a renewal of these values to sustain American identity, warning that the American Creed alone is insufficient to maintain national unity.

The book is a controversial and thought-provoking analysis of the identity crisis in the United States.
