Sylvia Torti's The Scorpion's Tail won the 2005 Miguel M???rmol Prize, awarded annually by Curbstone Press for the best debut work in fiction by a Latinx writer. This suspense-filled novel explores struggles of indigenous people in southern Mexico during the Zapatista rebellion. The Scorpion's Tail encompasses both the point of view of Amy, a young US biologist inadvertently caught up in the rebellion, and that of Chan Nah K'in, an insurgent woman guerrilla. It explores the dilemma of the Hach Winik people caught between their traditional life and the modern world, where they must take aggressive political and military action to preserve their very existence. 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.
