The Privileged Poor pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载
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。
评分我是传统的中国小学、中学、大学、研究生一路上来的,家长眼中的绝对乖乖女。 我第一次走出国门,是大三的时候,去丹麦做交换生。 尽管国内我的家庭背景已经是北上广大城市的中产阶级了,但在丹麦,我就是书中那个妥妥的“双重贫困生”。 那个不知如何与同学交流,无法融入校园...
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?
评分 评分 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。
