The Privileged Poor 2025 pdf epub mobi 电子书
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 评分 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...

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.
不知道为啥,这种书总有一种一眼看到头的感觉,特权那本也是。
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。
评分整本书都在翻来覆去地打苦情牌,所以是怎样,让读者给你水滴筹啊?
