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.
##这种讲美国学生cultural capital 和精英学校运作规则理解的书真是读一本等于读全部……感觉主旨的那些 cultural capital - ease,中产非中产文化资本的差别,别人都写过了……抄录一点最后政策建议:高中培育有利于上大学的文化,大学阶段为学生提供更多的生活补助,多提供制度性的学生和老师接触的机会,把unspoken rules明确化,等等。
评分##这是一份从阶级分化角度呈现美国高等教育暗室与隐疾的社会学论著。它引人注目的第一点是题眼中“寒门子弟”与“精英大学”的概念搭配,以及作者安东尼·杰克大胆使用“背弃”(failing)一词,以彰显他势必通过本作对美国精英教育的体制性失败予以揭示的决心。本作改写于他在哈...
评分##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##不知道为啥,这种书总有一种一眼看到头的感觉,特权那本也是。
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。
