The Privileged Poor pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
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.

读后感
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...
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...
评分中国版的“寒门子弟上大学”的故事是：一个出生农村普通家庭的小孩，父母基本都是务农或者干一些体力活维持生计，父母小学或者初中毕业，好一点是有读过高中，上过大学的几乎是没有的。从小到大学习基本只能靠自己的自觉和努力，父母对成绩基本不怎么过问，只关心你在学校有没...
评分哈佛，MIT，斯坦福........这些金光闪闪的名字，任谁收到这类精英大学的录取通知书不是心中狂喜呢？美国的精英大学，被誉为拥有全世界最好通识教育最高学府，是全世界学子心之所往的圣地，多少家庭为了孩子能进入这类大学一掷千金，多少孩子为了自己的梦想卷到内伤。 美国大学...

用户评价
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？
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。

评分内容翔实 观点清晰 研究方法也不错
评分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。
