Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / In Black and African theology, especially in the North American and African contexts,
there is consensus that claims of people of European descent being regarded as God’s
chosen people, are heretical and serve to legitimise the domination in the name of
differences with regard to race, class and culture. Such discourses may be understood to
be a sustained critique, rejection, and even condemnation, of the injustices of imperialism,
colonialism, human subjugation like slavery, and racial supremacy. In constructive
responses to racial supremacy, claims have been made in certain political discourses,
cultural philosophies and theologies, that instead, Black Africans who currently reside in
Africa and those Black Africans whose ancestry is vest in Africa, may be regarded as
God’s chosen people, and Africa as God’s chosen country. Such views are also expressed
in some Christian circles and are discussed in the context of certain historical and
contemporary North-American, and Pan-African theologies.
