UFV political scientist Ron Dart is celebrating the publication of his latest book, The North American High Tory Tradition, from American Anglican Press.
In the book, Dart “shines light upon the classical lineage, deep wisdom and enduring nature of the High Tory tradition as it has been planted and grown in the soil of North America, and in doing so reveals how Canada may serve as a north star to lead North Americans to a different destiny than that planned for them by a certain few in 1776” (from publicity material on the new book).
Dart has taught in the department of Political Science, Philosophy and Religious Studies at UFV since 1990. He was on staff with Amnesty International in the 1980s. He is the political science advisor to the Stephen Leacock Home and Museum, and serves on the boards of the Thomas Merton Society of Canada and the Society of Archbishop Secker. He has published more than thirty books and booklets, served as an editor for The Anglican Catholic, The Friend: The High Tory Review and Anglican Tradition journals, and has contributed poems, articles and reviews to a wide range of publications in both North America and the United Kingdom. Ron Dart is a leading authority on the North American High–Red Tory religio-political tradition.
