"The Scorpion's Tail explores struggles of indigenous people in Southern Mexico during the Zapatista uprising. This suspense-filled novel encompasses both the point of view of Amy, a young U.S. biologist inadvertently caught up in the rebellion, and that of Chan Nah K'in, an insurgent woman guerilla. It explores the dilemma of the Hach Winik people caught between their traditional life and the modern world. The Scorpion's Tail is also an initiation story - Amy is plunged into the social realities of Mexico, an experience that shatters her neat isolated world of science and changes her life forever."--BOOK JACKET.
