This paper attempts to re-examine the concept of “nativistic movement” by analyzing the case of the Christian Fellowship Church (CFC) in the Solomon Islands. Criticism from Said’s Orientalism redirected the study of nativistic movements to overcome the binary opposition of “non-West” and “West.” Subsequently, anthropologists began to focus on “non-West” and “West” interaction and applied a universal meaning of “fundamentalism” in place of “nativistic movement.” The conventional research on CFC has followed the same academic trends as well. Although the CFC and fundamentalism are similar on the surface, their meanings of and attitudes toward “religious revival” differ. While fundamentalism originates in the history of Western Christianity, CFC doctrine elicits an opposition to Western society. In this paper, I show that the application of fundamentalism to socio-religious movements in the “non-West” conceals colonial inequality and underestimates the effect of colonialism.
