description: A sailor is abandoned on a deserted island; a telepathic girl hurtles through space; a Sioux boy hunts on the plains - each struggles to survive in a sometimes hostile environment. But survival is more than getting enough to eat and keeping warm. Sometimes we have to protect ourselves from soul-destroying prejudice, or we need to overcome irrational fears. Esteemed writers such as Walter Dean Myers, Gloria Gonzalez, Marge Piercy, and Joseph Bruchac present many kinds of survival in this collection of stories, articles, plays and poems. Dramatic and comic, provocative and inspiring, these selections can help us value all that goes into How We Prevail.
