具体描述

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.

##浅尝辄止,有点可惜。

##主要提出了poor students大类里有细分的privileged poor的概念。这些privileged poor因为高中时期进入了更为精英和高层的环境,在进入精英大学之后与peer和校里的adults沟通会更游刃有余,相较于doubly disadvantaged来说。但他们仍旧摆脱不了贫穷带来的物质上的障碍。其中第二章关于与老师、admin staff的交互让人十分能relate。对于doubly disadvantaged来说,是否真的应该宁做鸡头,不做凤尾呢?

##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 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...

##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.
