Introduction -- pt. 1. 'I am an American' -- Beginnings -- Soldiers -- Civilians -- Collateral damage -- Transitions -- pt. 2. Academic responses.

Summary: From Samuel Huntington's highly controversial Who Are We? to the urgent appeal of Naomi Wolf's The End of America, Americans are increasingly reflecting on questions of democracy, multiculturalism, and national identity. Yet such debates take place largely at the level of elites, leaving out ordinary American citizens who have much to offer about the lived reality behind the phrase, 'I am an American'.
