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.
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...
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...
評分外行人先说说我眼中的不足:这本书似乎没怎么用到统计学的方法,只有定性的分析,没有定量的准确的结论;基础教育方面国情不同,PP和DD的分法对我们来说不太适用 说说有价值的部分,在985five引起广泛关注的今天,这本书无疑为我们的大学生提供了一些参考。前几天听我家住海淀...
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...

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?
评分作者是窮學生齣身,成為學者之後研究窮學生怎樣能更好適應精英大學的生活,以求讓更多的窮學生像他一樣成功實現階級躍遷,真的很empowering。本書很好讀,作者很有邏輯地把學生的testimony串起來瞭。"Access is not inclusion"。第三章真是令人震驚,鼓勵窮學生做宿捨清潔工來賺錢這種政策太智障瞭,還好有作者這種學者讓弱勢群體得以發聲,就這點就值得力薦。本書結論不是鼓勵更多窮學生讀私校成為privileged poor,而是鼓勵更多公校能賦權。最後的attachments也很有意思,作者留白瞭很多值得研究的地方,比如亞裔完全不在研究樣本裏。從社達社會齣來的學生的cultural shock和美國窮學生居然是差不多的,比如我看到office hours那一點感到很有共鳴。
评分主要提齣瞭poor students大類裏有細分的privileged poor的概念。這些privileged poor因為高中時期進入瞭更為精英和高層的環境,在進入精英大學之後與peer和校裏的adults溝通會更遊刃有餘,相較於doubly disadvantaged來說。但他們仍舊擺脫不瞭貧窮帶來的物質上的障礙。其中第二章關於與老師、admin staff的交互讓人十分能relate。對於doubly disadvantaged來說,是否真的應該寜做雞頭,不做鳳尾呢?
