Getting in is only half the battle. The Privileged Poor reveals how―and why―disadvantaged students struggle at elite colleges, and explains what schools can do differently if these students are to thrive.
The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors―and their coffers―to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In The Privileged Poor, Anthony Jack reveals that the struggles of less privileged students continue long after they’ve arrived on campus. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This bracing and necessary book documents how university policies and cultures can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why these policies hit some students harder than others.
Despite their lofty aspirations, top colleges hedge their bets by recruiting their new diversity largely from the same old sources, admitting scores of lower-income black, Latino, and white undergraduates from elite private high schools like Exeter and Andover. These students approach campus life very differently from students who attended local, and typically troubled, public high schools and are often left to flounder on their own. Drawing on interviews with dozens of undergraduates at one of America’s most famous colleges and on his own experiences as one of the privileged poor, Jack describes the lives poor students bring with them and shows how powerfully background affects their chances of success.
If we truly want our top colleges to be engines of opportunity, university policies and campus cultures will have to change. Jack provides concrete advice to help schools reduce these hidden disadvantages―advice we cannot afford to ignore.
Anthony Abraham Jack, a native of Miami, received a scholarship to attend Gulliver Preparatory School, an elite private high school in South Florida. He went on to receive degrees from Amherst College and Harvard University. He is currently a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows, an Assistant Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and the Shutzer Assistant Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
整本书都在翻来覆去地打苦情牌,所以是怎样,让读者给你水滴筹啊?
评分对于上层社会而言,阶级是比肤色和种族更为直观的分界线。
评分从一个很具体的人群切入,通过三组在精英大学来自不同阶级背景的学生的比较,非常具体又条理清楚的看到现在的学校制度下,贫困学生所经历的困境。很多意在帮助他们的措施也可能是进一步强化差异,没有考虑到心理层面带给学生的感受。阶级和教育题材书籍中的又一块砖。
评分就讲讲故事。没什么洞见。

这是一本写法很接地气的书,内容朴实无华,甚至有些内容会让读者认为过于重复,但杰克的这种写法,目的就是强调他的核心观点--经济差异-->文化资积累不足-->该现象在教育行业的体现。杰克引入双重贫困生、寒门幸运儿、高收入学生三者来对照研究,特别是前两组的对照,直...
评分哈佛,MIT,斯坦福........这些金光闪闪的名字,任谁收到这类精英大学的录取通知书不是心中狂喜呢?美国的精英大学,被誉为拥有全世界最好通识教育最高学府,是全世界学子心之所往的圣地,多少家庭为了孩子能进入这类大学一掷千金,多少孩子为了自己的梦想卷到内伤。 美国大学...
评分这本书写的是美国精英名校中的贫困大学生,因为涉及到阶层之类的敏感字眼,所以中国人非常有共鸣,心有戚戚。 但这种共鸣是错误的幻觉。 举个例子,电影Joker,有独身公寓,吃喝不愁,还有心理医生免费看。 这种人叫「活得不好」? 同理,这本书中的贫困生,确实经济条件不富裕...

评分这是一份从阶级分化角度呈现美国高等教育暗室与隐疾的社会学论著。它引人注目的第一点是题眼中“寒门子弟”与“精英大学”的概念搭配,以及作者安东尼·杰克大胆使用“背弃”(failing)一词,以彰显他势必通过本作对美国精英教育的体制性失败予以揭示的决心。本作改写于他在哈...
