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.

作者是穷学生出身,成为学者之后研究穷学生怎样能更好适应精英大学的生活,以求让更多的穷学生像他一样成功实现阶级跃迁,真的很empowering。本书很好读,作者很有逻辑地把学生的testimony串起来了。"Access is not inclusion"。第三章真是令人震惊,鼓励穷学生做宿舍清洁工来赚钱这种政策太智障了,还好有作者这种学者让弱势群体得以发声,就这点就值得力荐。本书结论不是鼓励更多穷... 作者是穷学生出身,成为学者之后研究穷学生怎样能更好适应精英大学的生活,以求让更多的穷学生像他一样成功实现阶级跃迁,真的很empowering。本书很好读,作者很有逻辑地把学生的testimony串起来了。"Access is not inclusion"。第三章真是令人震惊,鼓励穷学生做宿舍清洁工来赚钱这种政策太智障了,还好有作者这种学者让弱势群体得以发声,就这点就值得力荐。本书结论不是鼓励更多穷学生读私校成为privileged poor,而是鼓励更多公校能赋权。最后的attachments也很有意思,作者留白了很多值得研究的地方,比如亚裔完全不在研究样本里。从社达社会出来的学生的cultural shock和美国穷学生居然是差不多的,比如我看到office hours那一点感到很有共鸣。 (展开)

内容很好,一共三章,在美国精英大学校园里:富裕家庭出身的学生和贫穷家庭出身的学生的互动和学业生活习惯程度;这两类学生和教授及行政人员互动的差异;学校为了加强贫穷学生的融入程度而推出的一些与初衷背道而驰的项目和措施。内容虽好但觉得深度不够,且有点啰嗦冗长。对于在美国的大学里工作过一段时间的人来说有点老生常谈。希望能激发更多更深层次的研究,也希望亚裔美国学生的情况能被研究一下…

我觉得所有要写DEI statement的人都可以看一下这本书,作者对privileged poor的定义耐人寻味,讲的故事也简单有趣。缺点也是很明显的,作者的质性研究无法回答因果关系的问题,学生在大学的表现和体验有时候未必(直接)来源于PP的状态/他们上了什么样的高中,alienation或者feeling not entitled也有可能是性格因素主导的。有点好奇作者提到的定量研究是怎么设计的... 我觉得所有要写DEI statement的人都可以看一下这本书,作者对privileged poor的定义耐人寻味,讲的故事也简单有趣。缺点也是很明显的,作者的质性研究无法回答因果关系的问题,学生在大学的表现和体验有时候未必(直接)来源于PP的状态/他们上了什么样的高中,alienation或者feeling not entitled也有可能是性格因素主导的。有点好奇作者提到的定量研究是怎么设计的,不过猜想过去也只能证明关联性而非因果关系。 (展开)

一边流眼泪一边读完这本书,虽然我没在美国读过书,但依然能relate其中的很多故事,尤其是第一次踏入精英大学时所经历的各种culture shock;我对这本书有种相见恨晚的感觉,原来不只是我一个人在大学里感到无所适从,原来我的失败真的是有一定阶级原因在里面的,而不是我自己想象出来的,原来真的有人和我一样被阶级差距所困扰和折磨

被privileged poor这个概念吸引来看的书,看后失望多一些,觉得。。。嗯,好像也没啥啊,因为之前boarding school的经历所以融入精英大学会更容易,这个感觉也不是什么石破天惊的发现啊。。。不过其中有些发现还真的震惊到了我,包括春假期间食堂不开导致的饥饿(甚至有女生会通过dating来寻求免费的饭)
