As one of the most prestigious high schools in the nation, St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, has long been the exclusive domain of America's wealthiest sons. But times have changed. Today, a new elite of boys and girls is being molded at St. Paul's, one that reflects the hope of openness but also the persistence of inequality. In "Privilege", Shamus Khan returns to his alma mater to provide an inside look at an institution that has been the private realm of the elite for the past 150 years. He shows that St. Paul's students continue to learn what they always have - how to embody privilege. Yet, while students once leveraged the trappings of upper-class entitlement, family connections, and high culture, current St. Paul's students learn to succeed in a more diverse environment. To be the future leaders of a more democratic world, they must be at ease with everything from highbrow art to everyday life - from Beowulf to Jaws - and view hierarchies as ladders to scale. Through deft portrayals of the relationships among students, faculty, and staff, Khan shows how members of the new elite face the opening of society while still preserving the advantages that allow them to rule.

by becoming more democratic the elite have undercut the power of the weak within our nation.
评分Elite Boarding School...要是每本必读书目都像这样堪比小说多好,啧啧。
评分有的时候有点陈词滥调+过度解读。总体精华在最后一章,明白为毛都憋着想上私立高中了,资源和眼界都是大不同,且教的不只是知识,而是思考世界的方式方法。“寒门难出贵子”确实有其道理。依照作者说法,如今特权阶层再也不是高高在上,能雅俗共赏深入群众才是真精英!
评分写的还是流畅的,不过相对于这个框架,我更喜欢Class Choreographies。这本书想象力一般。
评分可读性很高的民族志。教育对于阶级再生产,在不同社会有不同的作用方式,不同于布迪厄观察到的法国上层阶级的文化区隔,在美国这种以“开放,包容,努力工作,自我实现”为主流正确观念的社会,上层阶级通过精英学校实现了用个人优势掩盖阶级特权,获得了正当性。最早的资本贵族面对“血汗工厂”尚有阶级的负罪感,并在文化上受封建贵族的嘲弄,这些资产阶级的子女们在60年代革命里颠覆了传统贵族的文化优势,完成了父辈未竟的文化革命;而现代的资本贵族利用教育,逐渐让自己的优势变得如封建社会的血缘贵族那样“自然”。
这本书值得推荐给所有望子成龙的父母以及即使没有孩子但仍在思索如何成为精英的人。 本书作者是哥大社会系教授,毕业于圣保罗中学,也曾在该中学任教,因此他有足够的经验去观察分析何为精英教育,精英与普罗大众的区别。 圣保罗中学是美国顶尖私立寄宿学校,学生全部去往美国...
