Serbia. Horgos. 2015. Refugees peer through the barrier on the Serbia-Hungary border. Earlier that day, Hungary’s nationalist government had closed the border to refugees transiting to Western Europe. In the wake of the European refugee crisis, the EU was divided into two groups: those willing to take migrants according to a quota system,andthosewhorefused.The refugee crisis was by far the larg- est migration I’d ever covered. The vastness of what I saw on any given day was only a drop in the flood of human beings who had been pouring into Europe for weeks and would continue for months to come. It was also one of those rare moments that a photo (the drowned body of the three- year-old Kurdish-Syrian boy Alan Kurdi) galvanized societal and political change, at least for a little while. The doors to Western Europe were cracked open, and millions seized the opportunity. What that means, and where that will eventually lead, is still a question. For now, the forces of nationalism, identity politics, fear mongering, and insularity are very much on display.
