Have you attended our Annual Meeting? Published in Anthropology News or an AAA journal? Maybe you have used our jobs board ACE: Anthropology Careers & Employment? Your donations provide fellow members with access to vital educational and professional opportunities. The Association’s resource development committee is currently focused on fundraising in three key areas: ●● l Give a young anthropologist the chance to jump start their professional journey through the AAA Summer Internship Program. This educational opportunity is funded entirely by member donations and connects anthropology students with mentors who give them a taste for what is possible with a degree in anthropology. l Support World on the Move: 100,000 Years of Human Migration™, the Association’s latest public education initiative about the pressing and timely topic of migration, displacement, and human population movement. Donations to our education ini- tiatives, including World on the Move and our RACE project, help us develop public programming (including book readings, film screenings and museum exhibits) to facilitate broad and essential public conversations. l In today’s political climate, we face a heightened need to promote the positive contributions of anthropologists and anthro- pology to policy makers and the general public. Unrestricted donations, or donations to build our endowment fund, support these critical outreach and advocacy efforts. Make your contribution online at www.americananthro.org/donate.

We have been conducting fieldwork in Venezuela since the early 2000s, and like many of our colleagues, we reject the Trump/Chávez comparison.

The notion that Americans need to look outside of the United States to under- stand Trump’s authoritarianism, racism, or manipulation of stark class inequality reflects an enduring belief in American exceptionalism. More importantly, such comparisons sidestep the content of politics; they render insignificant the differences between an anti-capitalist who sought to build a type of socialism and a billionaire real estate developer
