Exodus: Immigration and Multiculturalism in the 21st Century by Paul Collier – review | Books | The Guardian

Sounds like an interesting, nuanced read. Review quote:

The economist Paul Collier aims to introduce a measure of nuance – perhaps, as he recognises, unwanted nuance – into this “toxic” sector of public debate, where “high emotion” inspires “fundamentalists” on both sides of the argument. Liberals, however benign their intentions, turn out to be no less emotive in their predetermined approach to immigration than the small-minded racists and nationalists from whom they recoil. Immigration, Collier contends, has been out of bounds for liberal thinkers: “The only permissible opinion has been to bemoan popular antipathy to it.” Postcolonial guilt about historic injustices tends to shape responses to current migration policy, while stifling consideration of wider problems of global poverty.
