| Summary/Abstract |
From Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, to the horrors of Aleppo and the global migrant crisis, 2016 was a year that seemingly hardened the global colour line. In the United States, the Black Lives Matter movement struggled against domestic racism and police brutality, punctuating the myth of a post-racial and colour blind America. In the Mediterranean, migrant deaths hit a record high as Europe increasingly slammed its door shut. In Cape Town and Oxford, students called for a decolonisation of the university campus and curriculum, as well as the immediate removal of the statue of Cecil Rhodes.
