520 2 Like Fire chronicles an indigenous movement for radical
change in Papua New Guinea from 1946 to the present. The
movement's founder, Paliau Maloat, promoted a program for
step-by-step social change in which many of his followers
also found hope for a miraculous millenarian
transformation. Drawing on data collected over several
decades, Theodore Schwartz and Michael French Smith
describe the movement's history, Paliau's transformation
from secular reformer and politician to Melanesian Jesus,
and the development of the current incarnation of the
movement as Wind Nation, a fully millenarian endeavour.
Their analysis casts doubt on common ways of understanding
a characteristically Melanesian form of millenarianism,
the cargo cult, and questions widely accepted ways of
interpreting millenarianism in general. They show that to
understand the human proclivity for millenarianism we must
scrutinise more closely two near-universal human
tendencies: difficulty accepting the role of chance or
impersonal forces in shaping events (that is, the tendency
to personify causation), and a tendency to imagine that
one or one's group is the focus of the malign or benign
attention of purposeful entities, from the local to the
cosmic. Schwartz and Smith discuss the prevalence of
millenarianism and warn against romanticising it, because
the millenarian mind can subvert rationality and nourish
rage and fear even as it seeks transcendence.--From
