Abstract
America is increasingly divided in terms of income, health, and hope for the future. The most stark marker of this is our rising rates of mortality, driven by "deaths of despair" among less than college educated middle-aged whites. The patterns in death closely match those we find in lack of hope, stress, and worry among the same cohorts and in the same places. That stands in contrast to the much higher levels of optimism among poor African Americans and Hispanics. This article highlights the ways in which the communities surrounding the latter cohorts are the roots of resilience and how they may provide lessons for the difficult task of restoring hope in populations and places where it has been lost.
