The Passing Summer: A South African Pilgrimage in the Politics of Love by Michael Cassidy

The Passing Summer: A South African Pilgrimage in the Politics of Love by Michael Cassidy is a significant work of South African political and Christian literature, first published in 1989 during the turbulent final years of apartheid. This copy is particularly interesting as it contains a handwritten inscription signed by the author.

Michael Cassidy, founder of African Enterprise and a prominent South African Christian leader, examines the country’s deeply rooted racial divisions, political struggles and search for reconciliation. Writing during a period of widespread unrest and uncertainty, The Passing Summer explores the complex relationship between Christianity, social justice, political responsibility and the possibility of peaceful transformation.

With a foreword by Reverend Mmutlanyane Stanley Mogoba, The Passing Summer presents a thoughtful examination of faith and politics at a defining moment in South African history. Its central message emphasises the importance of love, forgiveness, dialogue and moral courage in overcoming entrenched divisions.
