Exodus is an insightful, expert foray into the explosive issue of immigration, from Paul Collier, award-winning economist & author of The Bottom Billion Mass international migration is a response to extreme global inequality, & immigration has a profound impact on the way we live. Yet our views
- & those of our politicians
- remain caught between two extremes: popular hostility to migrants, tinged by xenophobia & racism; & the view of business & liberal elites that `open doors` are both economically & ethically imperative. With migration set to accelerate, few issues are so urgently in need of dispassionate analysis
- & few are more incendiary. Here, world-renowned economist Paul Collier seeks to defuse this explosive subject. Exodus looks at how people from the world`s poorest societies struggle to migrate to the rich West: the effects on those left behind & on the host societies, & explores the impulses & thinking that inform Western immigration policy. Migration, he concludes, is a fact, & we urgently need to think clearly about its possibilities & challenges: it is not a question of whether migration is good or bad, but how much is best?” Exodus is an important book & one I have been waiting to read for many years.. .[it is] a work that is humane & hard-headed about one of the greatest issues of our times”. (David Goodhart, Sunday Times). ” Paul Collier is one of the world`s most thoughtful economists. His books consistently illuminate & provoke. Exodus is no exception”. (Economist). ” Tinged with poignancy.. .a humane & sensible voice in a highly toxic debate”. (Colin Kidd, Guardian). Paul Collier is Professor of Economics & Director of the Centre for the Study of African Economies at Oxford University & a former director of Development Research at the World Bank. He is the author of, among others, the award-winning The Bottom Billion & The Plundered Planet.

England may be a small country on a small isl&, but its inhabitants have always had a boundless curiosity about the world beyond their shoreline. From the nation`s modern origins in the Renaissance, travellers have eagerly roamed the globe & been enticed by the diversity & richness of other civilizations. & while this appetite for adventure has often been tainted by aggression or exploitation, the English have also carried within them a capacity to soak up new experiences & ideas & to weave them into every aspect of life back home, from language & literature to customs & culture. Here we trace this golden thread of otherness through five centuries of English history to reveal how it has shaped the buildings, flavoured the food, powered the economy, & created a truly diverse society. Today, when England is no longer synonymous with Britain & the English ask themselves who they are, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown paints a sumptuous & illuminating portrait of who they have been & brings a fresh, invigorating perspective on what ` Englishness` really means. ...
