in this book, Rehbein tries to describe the world after the Global South. "Global South" is a term, especially in the postcolonial literature, which emphasize on new power emerging from other part than the developed countries. in fact, Rehbein tries to show that whit the rise of the Global South, the Hegemony of the Global North has been diminished and the necessity for new theories in Social Science for understanding the new configuration of the world has become self-evident. Rehbein tries to focus on the method of these new theories, which he calls Kaleidoscopic Dialectic. be this term he means and kind of method which is open to other traditions and isn't based on Eurocentric perspectives, a perspective which Rehbein believes is in the notion of most of the founders of Social Science.
in general I think that the book has lots to say about the new situation of the world, but is this book readable for Global South itself? is it a voice of the subaltern? I don't think so. as correctly mentioned in the book, we, as the Global South, need to establish our own language; not as a identity or as a nationalistic view, but as a way for having a more genuine communication with the world and try to find our appropriate place in it.
