Abstract: From the perspective of post-colonialism, Green Book reveals the white’s racial discrimination and prejudice to the black, which leads to the black’s representative Shelly’s rebelling and rejecting racial discrimination, trying to get rid of the identity of “other”, pursuing freedom and equality, and realizing identity. Its purpose is to make the colonized realize the reality of their cultural identities lost and the necessity of identity reconstruction, and make the colonists realize that different civilizations should respect each other, communicate with each other equally, and jointly advance world civilization.

Key words: post-colonialism, Green Book, culture invasion, other, hybridity, identity
