As one walks through these confessional essays, one encounters Karl and his world where the personal, political, and spiritual are interwoven into an intricate Lumad design. Here he reveals himself as true anthropologist, a radical lover of humankind in the particular persons and communities he lives and works with in his homeland Mindanao.

Walay kalibutan kung wala kay kalibutan. One strand of this proverb’s surplus of meaning may be rendered: “There is no world unless you have a world.” Empowered by his mortality, Karl has dared to speak his world to youth of kindred spirits. With this publication of his essays, we are invited into Karl’s world with the hope that it may also describe our own.
-Jose Mario C. Francisco, S.J.

Karl M. Gaspar or Carlito Morante Gaspar was born in Davao City and grew up in the cities of Davao and Digos. Karl’s parents, Salvador and Josefina, originally from Capiz and Pangasinan respectively, migrated to Davao City just before the outbreak of World War II.
