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.
本应很快读完的一本书 这次战线拉的有点长 关于这本寒门子弟上大学这本书,是有一天刷到自己比较欣赏的一位知识博主推荐了这本书,博主在过程中有共情的阐述当年自己有机会做交换去到了哈佛大学,在这样顶尖的学习殿堂,遇到了非常多优秀的精英群体,自己虽出身在国内的中产阶...
評分哈佛,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...

評分我是传统的中国小学、中学、大学、研究生一路上来的,家长眼中的绝对乖乖女。 我第一次走出国门,是大三的时候,去丹麦做交换生。 尽管国内我的家庭背景已经是北上广大城市的中产阶级了,但在丹麦,我就是书中那个妥妥的“双重贫困生”。 那个不知如何与同学交流,无法融入校园...
評分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...
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。

评分對於上層社會而言,階級是比膚色和種族更為直觀的分界綫。
评分內容翔實 觀點清晰 研究方法也不錯
评分淺嘗輒止,有點可惜。
