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.

评分##3星半其实 现在美国这种书籍有一个普遍毛病就是写作很散 而且后面比较重复 不过他给出的视角非常值得参考。我知道会有人认为让寒门子弟半工半读是”天将降大任“,但不能忽视的是现代人心理健康的重要性。这个问题是恶毒”凤凰男“和”做题家“的一体两面。给他们超越原生家庭的机会,而不是居高临下认为自己施舍了高等教育的机会,是非常重要的。
评分##外行人先说说我眼中的不足:这本书似乎没怎么用到统计学的方法,只有定性的分析,没有定量的准确的结论;基础教育方面国情不同,PP和DD的分法对我们来说不太适用 说说有价值的部分,在985five引起广泛关注的今天,这本书无疑为我们的大学生提供了一些参考。前几天听我家住海淀...
