Americans are taught to believe that upward mobility is possible for anyone who is willing to work hard, regardless of their social status, yet it is often those from affluent backgrounds who land the best jobs. Pedigree takes readers behind the closed doors of top-tier investment banks, consulting firms, and law firms to reveal the truth about who really gets hired for the nation's highest-paying entry-level jobs, who doesn’t, and why.
Drawing on scores of in-depth interviews as well as firsthand observation of hiring practices at some of America’s most prestigious firms, Lauren Rivera shows how, at every step of the hiring process, the ways that employers define and evaluate merit are strongly skewed to favor job applicants from economically privileged backgrounds. She reveals how decision makers draw from ideas about talent—what it is, what best signals it, and who does (and does not) have it—that are deeply rooted in social class. Displaying the "right stuff" that elite employers are looking for entails considerable amounts of economic, social, and cultural resources on the part of the applicants and their parents.
Challenging our most cherished beliefs about college as a great equalizer and the job market as a level playing field, Pedigree exposes the class biases built into American notions about the best and the brightest, and shows how social status plays a significant role in determining who reaches the top of the economic ladder.
Lauren A. Rivera is associate professor of management and organizations at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
早知道有譯本我就不花兩天讀瞭噻
評分感覺是純發議論啊,舉的例子沒太大說服力,而且明顯是蹦著早已定下的主題去的;好多列舉的數據也沒有齣處,你說什麼就是什麼吧。其實對於pedigree英國人已經開始動搖瞭,美國人還不願意承認,而我大天朝早就認識到瞭,從高考是不是寒門唯一的齣路到各種二代就能看齣來。沒啥科學性,棄瞭。
評分怎麼講,如何去對一個過程進行評價呢?作者過程的材料十分豐富,從校招到宣傳招募和簡曆篩選等,能把Karen Ho那本清算的一個章節擴展成一本書也是有點厲害。補充瞭經驗理解,但是也沒啥很強的理論貢獻【但使用布迪厄研究不平等誰又能做齣理論貢獻呢?】,但是將就業市場和教育機構兩個institution層麵上的結閤到瞭,對於以前找getting a job那種社會網的研究有一定補充,主要還是文化的角度,尤其是如何理解merit。21世紀,我們隻能做這樣的“好”研究瞭麼?
評分完整的社會學研究專著,剛好結閤瞭我的三個興趣點 Social research,Class,Recruiting????

又是一年校招季。9月—11月,沙场“秋”点兵。 “神仙打架,凡人遭殃”。当我们谈论不平等时,我们在谈论什么?有位应用数学专业的室友向来犀利,她一言以蔽之,“就是也想要”。招聘的竞技场,要不起的好工作还好吗? 美国西北大学学者劳伦·A·里韦拉的《出身:不平等的选拔...
評分大多数美国人认为努力工作,而不是高贵的血统,是成功的关键。教科书、报纸、小说中充斥着霍雷肖·阿尔杰(Horatio Alger)笔下的故事,即个人凭借强大的动力和坚韧最终跻身上流社会。这些故事,无论聚焦于沃伦·巴菲特(Warren Buffett)的传奇经历,还是《风雨哈佛路》(Home...
評分从看理想电台听到关于这本书的一些介绍,再加上一些现实感受,对教育与社会阶层问题产生了极大的兴趣,想要一探究竟。前面的写作原因,调查方法,论证过程,结论,附录,参考文献……让人感觉回到了埋头苦写论文的时期。但这本书通俗易懂,没有掉书袋的感觉和明显的文化隔阂感...
