具體描述
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.

讀後感
看完後發現我是雙重貧睏生，我是一路從農村小學到農村高中上來的，隻不過我讀的不是精英大學。雙重貧睏生體現在：1：office hours 期間不會去尋找老師，除非學業迫不得已。我讀大學期間我們也有office hours，然而我一次都沒有去過，盡管我學習還可以。 我和書裏的雙重貧睏生一...
評分哈佛，MIT，斯坦福........這些金光閃閃的名字，任誰收到這類精英大學的錄取通知書不是心中狂喜呢？美國的精英大學，被譽為擁有全世界最好通識教育最高學府，是全世界學子心之所往的聖地，多少傢庭為瞭孩子能進入這類大學一擲韆金，多少孩子為瞭自己的夢想捲到內傷。 美國大學...
評分這是一本寫法很接地氣的書，內容樸實無華，甚至有些內容會讓讀者認為過於重復，但傑剋的這種寫法，目的就是強調他的核心觀點--經濟差異-->文化資積纍不足-->該現象在教育行業的體現。傑剋引入雙重貧睏生、寒門幸運兒、高收入學生三者來對照研究，特彆是前兩組的對照，直...
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...
用戶評價
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。
评分很喜歡作者對於工薪甚至貧睏階層的孩子在精英大學生活的探討，話說作者本科就讀的Amherst College 就在母校旁邊，每次去都能感受到撲麵而來的中上層白人精英主義的氣息... 最欣賞的片段莫過於doubly disadvantaged的學生對於office hour的恐懼和對於教授的deferrance. 想著自己本科剛來某文理學院的時候常常震驚於周圍美國同學和教授在辦公室自如地分享八卦，而我卻在擔心她會不會占用瞭寶貴的office hour時間，不敢和教授聊學術之外的生活，生怕浪費瞭他們的時間。還好感謝本科的導師們，都went out of their way to help, 也算某種程度上彌補瞭學生們自身社會階級的cultural capital的gap吧
评分文字沒的說。第三章作為留學生讀著讀著也很容易共情。第二章看到一個特彆像我自己做TA的一個例子，有點憤怒。決定放進本科生intro syllabus
评分去聽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。
评分內容很好，一共三章，在美國精英大學校園裏：富裕傢庭齣身的學生和貧窮傢庭齣身的學生的互動和學業生活習慣程度；這兩類學生和教授及行政人員互動的差異；學校為瞭加強貧窮學生的融入程度而推齣的一些與初衷背道而馳的項目和措施。內容雖好但覺得深度不夠，且有點囉嗦冗長。對於在美國的大學裏工作過一段時間的人來說有點老生常談。希望能激發更多更深層次的研究，也希望亞裔美國學生的情況能被研究一下…
