The Privileged Poor pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
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.
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.

读后感
近几年，常有人说“寒门再难出贵子”，没想到这种情况在美国同样常见。 美国精英大学以富人家庭的孩子为主，根据家庭收入和高中时期的经历，可以划分为“家庭富裕且就读过精英高中的学生”(第一类)、“出身寒门但就读过精英高中的学生”(第二类)和“出身寒门且没读过精英高中的...
评分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...
评分中国版的“寒门子弟上大学”的故事是：一个出生农村普通家庭的小孩，父母基本都是务农或者干一些体力活维持生计，父母小学或者初中毕业，好一点是有读过高中，上过大学的几乎是没有的。从小到大学习基本只能靠自己的自觉和努力，父母对成绩基本不怎么过问，只关心你在学校有没...

去听book talk的时候觉得心都碎了。看的时候就反正也心情沉重，还是蛮容易共情double disadvantaged and privileged poor两个贫困学生群体在精英学校面临的各种结构性困境，PP学生因为在私校积累了文化资本能更好地熟练运用institutional resources(office hour, networking, seeking help, at ease with the rich), 但面临金钱相关问题时PP和DD一样无力：spring break famine, 做学生清洁员感受到的区隔和领免费文化活动票时隔开的队伍，一样触目惊心和让人愤怒。也很喜欢Jack写方法memo时候提到没想到强度很高的访谈对他自己来说感情上也非常有挑战。

评分很喜欢作者对于工薪甚至贫困阶层的孩子在精英大学生活的探讨，话说作者本科就读的Amherst College 就在母校旁边，每次去都能感受到扑面而来的中上层白人精英主义的气息... 最欣赏的片段莫过于doubly disadvantaged的学生对于office hour的恐惧和对于教授的deferrance. 想着自己本科刚来某文理学院的时候常常震惊于周围美国同学和教授在办公室自如地分享八卦，而我却在担心她会不会占用了宝贵的office hour时间，不敢和教授聊学术之外的生活，生怕浪费了他们的时间。还好感谢本科的导师们，都went out of their way to help, 也算某种程度上弥补了学生们自身社会阶级的cultural capital的gap吧
评分主要提出了poor students大类里有细分的privileged poor的概念。这些privileged poor因为高中时期进入了更为精英和高层的环境，在进入精英大学之后与peer和校里的adults沟通会更游刃有余，相较于doubly disadvantaged来说。但他们仍旧摆脱不了贫穷带来的物质上的障碍。其中第二章关于与老师、admin staff的交互让人十分能relate。对于doubly disadvantaged来说，是否真的应该宁做鸡头，不做凤尾呢？
