Abstract

By midway through 2016, the year was shaping up to be a rough one. Terrorist attacks had occurred nearly daily worldwide, with significant loss of life in around the world. In June, the Brexit vote. Continued war in Syria and political turmoil in nearby nations caused continued suffering for refugees. In the U.S., protests continued in across the country. In North Dakota, indigenous people have gathered in the largest meeting of Native American people in modern history in an effort to halt the erection of an oil pipeline dangerously close to native lands and waters. And the year ended with the ugliest American presidential race in living memory, in which Donald Trump’s campaign and supporters invoked multiple forms of bigotry, including anti-immigrant xenophobia along with anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic, and misogynistic sentiments.
