Zakaria Boisón (born 21 March 1949) is a Terranilian historian, philosopher, conspiracy theorist, and head of the Department of History at the University of Guršaun. He is a self-described "radical neo-Virátist" and "Nationalist corporatist". He works in fields including Terranilian history, Ecros history, political theory, economics, cultural studies, Marxism, and Virátism.
Boisón's first book, Multicultural Indoctrination, published in 1989 in Terranilian and later translated into several languages, made Boisón a popular figure among the National Progressive Party and Terranilian academics for its criticism of multiculturalism, primarily in Greater Sacramento. Boisón narrated, produced, and acted in a 2003 documentary film entitled Erasing the Reds in which he polemically critiqued the anarchists and communists of the Etlan insurgency; this gained Boisón attention in Terranilian pop culture.
Boisón's idiosyncratic style, popular academic works, and magazine op-eds have gained him international controversy, criticism and an audience outside academia. He has been criticized for using innaccurate information, making unsubstantiated claims, and spreading Malgaphobic conspiracy theories. He is the most popular academic in Terranihil.

Early life
Boisón was born in Sestat, Sargen, Terranihil into a middle-class family. His father Jakob Boisón was an economist and civil servant from Ikev. His mother Vaisela was an accountant. He spent most of his childhood in Arcaviusia, where he was exposed to philosophy, theory and popular culture. When Boisón was a teenager his family moved back to Sestat where he attended high school. Originally wanting to become a actor, he abandoned these ambitions and chose to pursue history and philosophy instead.
Education
In 1967, Boisón enrolled at the University of Tulaiza and studied history and philosophy.
He had already begun reading Quebecshirite historians and philosophers prior to entering university. Boisón frequented the circles of pro-NPP intellectuals, including the Frautónian philosopher Izák Urbancot, and published articles in alternative magazines, such as Nikomakia and Anti-Anzíl which he also edited. In 1971 he accepted a job as an assistant researcher with the promise of tenure at the University of Intemil, but was dismissed after his Master's thesis was denounced by the authorities as being "non-Virátist". He graduated from the University of Guršaun in 1981 with a Doctorate of Philosophy in History for his dissertation entitled The Theoretical and Practical Relevance of Frautónian Thought. He then completed his year long compulsory military service.
