THE CLASH OF IGNORANCE
Said, Edward W. | October 22, 2001 issue

add to cart   close window

Samuel Huntington's article "The Clash of Civilizations?" appeared in the Summer 1993 issue of Foreign Affairs, where it immediately attracted a surprising amount of attention and reaction. Because the article was intended to supply Americans with an original thesis about "a new phase" in world politics after the end of the cold war, Huntington's terms of argument. The challenge for Western policy-makers, says Huntington, is to make sure that the West gets stronger and fends off all the others, Islam in particular. The basic paradigm of West versus the rest remained untouched, and this is what has persisted, often insidiously and implicitly, in discussion since the terrible events of September 11.
