It’s a stubborn fact that more people will want to move to high-income countries than residents will want to admit. But, as Alan Manning – former head of Britain’s Migration Advisory Committee – makes clear, that doesn’t mean we can’t do better. We should start by ditching simplistic views that frame immigration as either wholly good or bad. We will always have and need immigration. But, just as inevitably, we will have rules on who can and cannot immigrate. To set those rules we need reliable evidence to navigate among the often-competing claims of the economy, culture, justice, and democracy. Manning supplies ample such evidence for key questions, including the effects of immigration on people’s lives, their jobs and incomes, taxes and public services, and their communities.

They were born and bred in many parts of France and are highly qualified, but they have decided to go and live in London, New York, Montreal, Brussels, Geneva or Dubai. Whether devout Muslims or not, they felt unloved and unwanted in France, and they find outside of France a sense of peace and fulfilment their native country would not give them. Outside of France they enjoy a “right to indifference” they just couldn’t find in their native country. This book, based on original research, sheds new light on the silent, never-talked-about flight abroad of French Muslims. It unpacks their motivations, their experiences in France and abroad, and their sense of Frenchness, fraught with bitterness as well as with gratitude. OLIVIER ESTEVES is Professor of British Studies at the University of Lille. ALICE PICARD is a post-doctoral researcher in political science at the French School of Public Health. JULIEN TALPIN is research director in sociology at CNRS, University of Lille.
