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.

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...

这本书的英文标题是《The Privileged Poor》,是“寒门幸运儿”的意思,译者翻译成《寒门弟子上大学》。“寒门弟子上大学”更多动感,让人遐想。 作者来自于迈阿密的椰林区,家境贫困。幸运地参加了“赢在起跑线”项目,因此能够就读格列佛预科学校-一所昂贵的私立高中,在生活...

看完后发现我是双重贫困生,我是一路从农村小学到农村高中上来的,只不过我读的不是精英大学。双重贫困生体现在:1:office hours 期间不会去寻找老师,除非学业迫不得已。我读大学期间我们也有office hours,然而我一次都没有去过,尽管我学习还可以。 我和书里的双重贫困生一...  

評分

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...

不知道為啥,這種書總有一種一眼看到頭的感覺,特權那本也是。

接著paying for the party 往後寫瞭一下好學校裏的窮學生,一種比較幸運,通過各種項目在寄宿學校積纍過一輪人力和文化資本,一種實慘,費勁來瞭以後各種文化衝擊。有的時候覺得社會生活太復雜瞭,即使是窮人也會被同一個社會的不同項目給分裂成幾個小群體,産生不一樣的體驗(作者順嘴提瞭一下群體之間對於同一件事不同的道德界限)。觀察一下,其實在留學生裏也常見,隻不過parachute kids吸引瞭更多的媒體注意力。終於,美國人終於意識到diversity不僅僅是膚色意義上的representative,也能注意到階級傷害是真實的存在瞭。

评分

這種講美國學生cultural capital 和精英學校運作規則理解的書真是讀一本等於讀全部……感覺主旨的那些 cultural capital - ease,中産非中産文化資本的差彆,彆人都寫過瞭……抄錄一點最後政策建議:高中培育有利於上大學的文化,大學階段為學生提供更多的生活補助,多提供製度性的學生和老師接觸的機會,把unspoken rules明確化,等等。

整本書都在翻來覆去地打苦情牌,所以是怎樣,讓讀者給你水滴籌啊?

論文看多瞭不是很習慣這種目錄結構瞭,標題上直接引用瞭participator的話,是吸引人的,但是看不齣學術脈絡會感到無所適從。以不平等視角進入精英大學,探討窮人睏境的研究可謂捲帙浩繁,the Poor的心酸艱難基本上都能想象得到。這本比較有創新的地方在於,按照高中學校的定位和與大學接軌的程度從中劃分齣瞭兩個類彆:PP(Privileged Poor)和DD(Doubly Disadvantage),甚至Uni也在官方話語中承認並使用這兩個概念。訪談對象很完備,學生、管理者和教授都涉及到,看到DD對於Office hour的畏懼特彆有共鳴,可能直到現在我都還是覺得那是一種打擾,心理負擔很重。看完學校的勤工助學項目、帶有歧視的文化援助項目、春假餐廳關門實在是大跌眼鏡,震驚。
