Gordon F D WilsonGordon F. D. Wilson is an author and scholar who has spent forty-plus years studying in the fields of geography and demography, pursuing deep, varied questions around human culture and politics. Born in Vancouver, Canada, and subsequently raised-unti the age of sixteen-in Kenya, Wilson received his undergraduate schooling in New York and a graduate degree from the University of British Columbia, cultivating his interest in questions around the problems facing modern humankind. He himself spent a decade in capital-P politics, serving as Minister of the Crown in several ministries in B.C., including finance, international trade, and Aboriginal affairs-during which time he was responsible for signing the Nisga'a Treaty, the first modern treaty of its kind in Canada. A constitutional scholar, he has also served as a consultant on matters pertaining to the Canadian Constitution. He has travelled extensively and lectured abroad, and is author of A Civilized Revolution (Ronsdale Press, 1996), in addition to several stage plays he has also produced, most notable among which are Billy's Question and The Sundowning of Frank Tyler.

Wilson continues to be fully engaged in the study of population dynamics and the rise of identity politics. Outside of writing, his primary preoccupation is farming, and at seventy-five, he has retired to write his stories and grow old on his sheep farm in Powell River, British Columbia. Read More Read Less
