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.
這本書寫的是美國精英名校中的貧睏大學生,因為涉及到階層之類的敏感字眼,所以中國人非常有共鳴,心有戚戚。 但這種共鳴是錯誤的幻覺。 舉個例子,電影Joker,有獨身公寓,吃喝不愁,還有心理醫生免費看。 這種人叫「活得不好」? 同理,這本書中的貧睏生,確實經濟條件不富裕...
評分 評分《寒門子弟上大學》The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students 早上寫完畢設論文的一部分,中午不務正業但迫不及待地看起瞭這本書。這本書讓我自然而然地想起瞭《優秀的綿羊》,同樣是對於精英大學教育的批判隻不過方麵不同,同樣文字吸引我...
評分這本書的英文標題是《The Privileged Poor》,是“寒門幸運兒”的意思,譯者翻譯成《寒門弟子上大學》。“寒門弟子上大學”更多動感,讓人遐想。 作者來自於邁阿密的椰林區,傢境貧睏。幸運地參加瞭“贏在起跑綫”項目,因此能夠就讀格列佛預科學校-一所昂貴的私立高中,在生活...

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。
评分內容翔實 觀點清晰 研究方法也不錯
