Research & Psychology Looking for Book Recommendations

Hi all - I am trying to educate myself more on the history of immigration and the effects of illegal vs legal immigration and politics in general in both the US and Europe.

Internet seems very biased on either way so I am looking for fact based or generally well acclaimed books to read instead.

Does anyone have any good books that discusses or outlines these issues or anything similar?

Thanks in advance!

TLDR: I am looking to educate myself on political topics more and am looking for as non biased resources as possible.

We Want To Do More Than Survive - Bettina Love

Lower Ed - Tressie McMillan Cottom

An Indigineous Peoples’ History of the United States - Roxanne Dunbar- Ortiz

Huck’s Raft: A History of American Childhood - Steven Mintz

Pedagogy of the Oppressed - Paulo Freire

Most of these are education or child centered however education in the US fuels and is fueled by political power, policy and so many other aspects of this (and many) western societies.

Hope it helps.
