Abstract
The autobiographical novel Out of Africa (1937) is one of the most famous works of the Danish female writer Isak Dinesen (1885-1962). Dinesen uses graceful words to describe “my” life of running a coffee farm in Africa during 1914 and 1931. As a colonist, Dinesen uses her 17-year of experience to sing a paean to Africa in this work. At the same time, she discloses the negative influences such as colonial imperials’ exploitation and mental paralysis on colonies as well as its irresistible decline. This paper explores the identity and ecology crisis between the colonists and colonized native Africans in the process of continuous assimilation and dissimilation in the post-colonial society, which has enlightenment to modern society.

1 Introduction
1.1 Isak Dinesen and Out of Africa
Isak Dinesen was the pen-name of Karen Blixen, who was born in Rungsted, Denmark in 1885. After studying art at Copenhagen, Paris and Rome, she married her cousin, Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, in 1914. Together they went to Kenya to manage a coffee plantation. After their divorce in 1921, she continued to run the plantation until a collapse in the coffee market forced her back to Denmark in 1931. Although she had written occasional contributions to Danish periodicals since 1905, her real debut took place in 1934 with the publication of Seven Gothic Tales, written in English under her pen-name. Out of Africa (1937) is an autobiographical account of the years she spent in Kenya. Most of her subsequent books were published in English and Danish simultaneously, including Winter’s Tales and The Angelic Avengers, under the name of Pierre Andrezol. Among her other collections of stories are Last Tales, Anecdotes of Destiny, Shadows on the Grass and Ehrengard. All of these books are published by Penguin. Baroness Blixen died in Rungsted in 1962.
