| 520 | |a The late Harvard University professor of Political Science Samuel Huntington, famous for his notion of a “clash of civilizations”, alleges that American national identity is threatened by multiculturalism and immigration, as transnational and subnational identities displace an essential core culture. Here I critique Huntington’s construction of American national identity as a fixed Anglo-Protestant cultural core prior to the 1960s that has been deconstructed by multiculturalism and is being fragmented by the current wave of immigration from Asia and especially Latin America. I argue that cultures are not fixed entities but have always been fluid in their assimila-tion of, and accommodation to, diverse elements, and that the dynamism and adaptability of a social system requires the creative transformations effected by the injection of new, partially differentiated elements in order to avoid stagnation and decline. Thus immigration and multiculturalism potentially nourish and enhance a vital national identity rather than un-dermining it. | ||
