具体描述
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.
用户评价
##论文看多了不是很习惯这种目录结构了，标题上直接引用了participator的话，是吸引人的，但是看不出学术脉络会感到无所适从。以不平等视角进入精英大学，探讨穷人困境的研究可谓卷帙浩繁，the Poor的心酸艰难基本上都能想象得到。这本比较有创新的地方在于，按照高中学校的定位和与大学接轨的程度从中划分出了两个类别：PP（Privileged Poor）和DD（Doubly Disadvantage），甚至Uni也在官方话语中承认并使用这两个概念。访谈对象很完备，学生、管理者和教授都涉及到，看到DD对于Office hour的畏惧特别有共鸣，可能直到现在我都还是觉得那是一种打扰，心理负担很重。看完学校的勤工助学项目、带有歧视的文化援助项目、春假餐厅关门实在是大跌眼镜，震惊。
评分从一个很具体的人群切入，通过三组在精英大学来自不同阶级背景的学生的比较，非常具体又条理清楚的看到现在的学校制度下，贫困学生所经历的困境。很多意在帮助他们的措施也可能是进一步强化差异，没有考虑到心理层面带给学生的感受。阶级和教育题材书籍中的又一块砖。
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##上个月Dr. Jack 来学校的时候见到了本人，也见到了Vanessa现身说法，说这本书改变了她的人生。书本身不是没有问题，比如他自己承认的只关注了African Americans和latinos两个种族，其他群体被直接忽略，但是更多还是积极的内容。The stories of marginalized groups need to be told.
评分##接着paying for the party 往后写了一下好学校里的穷学生，一种比较幸运，通过各种项目在寄宿学校积累过一轮人力和文化资本，一种实惨，费劲来了以后各种文化冲击。有的时候觉得社会生活太复杂了，即使是穷人也会被同一个社会的不同项目给分裂成几个小群体，产生不一样的体验（作者顺嘴提了一下群体之间对于同一件事不同的道德界限）。观察一下，其实在留学生里也常见，只不过parachute kids吸引了更多的媒体注意力。终于，美国人终于意识到diversity不仅仅是肤色意义上的representative，也能注意到阶级伤害是真实的存在了。

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##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？
