具體描述

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.

##去聽book talk的時候覺得心都碎瞭。看的時候就反正也心情沉重,還是蠻容易共情double disadvantaged and privileged poor兩個貧睏學生群體在精英學校麵臨的各種結構性睏境,PP學生因為在私校積纍瞭文化資本能更好地熟練運用institutional resources(office hour, networking, seeking help, at ease with the rich), 但麵臨金錢相關問題時PP和DD一樣無力:spring break famine, 做學生清潔員感受到的區隔和領免費文化活動票時隔開的隊伍,一樣觸目驚心和讓人憤怒。也很喜歡Jack寫方法memo時候提到沒想到強度很高的訪談對他自己來說感情上也非常有挑戰。

##這是一份從階級分化角度呈現美國高等教育暗室與隱疾的社會學論著。它引人注目的第一點是題眼中“寒門子弟”與“精英大學”的概念搭配,以及作者安東尼·傑剋大膽使用“背棄”(failing)一詞,以彰顯他勢必通過本作對美國精英教育的體製性失敗予以揭示的決心。本作改寫於他在哈...
