The Huntington Challenge: Why The Hispanic Challenge should be Discredited

DifferenTakes Series
29 ~ Fall 2004
[PDF Version]
By Elynor Lord

Previously known for his controversial essay, “The Clash of Civilizations,’ Harvard political scientist Samuel P. Huntington started off a wave of debate this past spring with his cover article in Foreign Policy, “The Hispanic Challenge.”1 This time, instead of predicting a catastrophic conflict between ‘Western civilization’ and Islam, Huntington foresees a new threat to the United States: Latino immigrants.

Elynor Lord is currently a fourth–year student at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA. During this school year, she will be working on a senior thesis that analyzes reproductive health on the U.S.–Mexico border. She plans to pursue a graduate degree in public health upon graduation.
