What are some good (and serious) books about multiculturalism?
I want to learn about its concept, implications, roots, pros and cons, etc. from a serious perspective.
I feel that the topic is now hotter than ever, and I'm tired of all those deliberately misguiding opinions from people who don't know shit about politics, law, economics or philosophy.
Please, don't send me to /pol/. I don't want a "it was deh joos" thread. If I wanted a racism vs SJW, I wouldn't have posted here.

Multiculturalism is a buzzword and generally good works don't get based around buzzwords.
Probably MLK or something. We don't really have a 'multicultural' society, no matter how many /pol/ .jpgs say otherwise. Regardless of how many refugees flood into Europe, they're not going to be living in the same places that Europeans are, merely adjacent. I expect to see riots in Syrian ghettos within the next 20 or so years.
By the way, the movie 'La Haine' does a really good job depicting the state of non-Europeans in Europe.

OK, let's take that it is just a buzzword, but it still has some concepts and theories behind, doesn't it?
Besides, I'm using the "buzzword" just because I'm witing in English; "multiculturalism" as term is not so explicitly used in my mother tongue, but the issues we discuss are quite the same: equality, tolerance, suppression of borders, etc.

I'll check it. Thanks. I assume that the author is not so kind towards the whole idea of "diversity"?

You somehow mentioned one of the issues discussed regarding this topic: integration; the fact that immigrants, etc. live in a merely adjacent place, as you described it, with the formation of ghettos and such.
If I remember correctly, I have La Haine somewhere at home. I'll watch it this weekend. Not /lit/ but seems promising.
I know it's a broad and diffuse topic, but some people must have written about it. For instance, I refuse to believe that nobody approached an economic analysis of it, ethical inquiries or have proposed passing new bills in order to, for instance, protect minorities that "recently arrived". I just don't want /pol/ shit charts or youtube stuff.
