内容简介
······

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.

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 …

已看中文版

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。

文字没的说。第三章作为留学生读着读着也很容易共情。第二章看到一个特别像我自己做TA的一个例子，有点愤怒。决定放进本科生intro syllabus
