  • Henry Louis "Skip" Gates, Jr. on yhdysvaltalainen kirjallisuuskriitikko, pedagogi, tutkija, kirjoittaja, toimittaja ja filosofi. Gates toimii professorina Harvardin yliopistossa, jossa hän johtaa Afrikan ja afro-amerikkalaisen tutkimuksen W. E. B. Du Bois -instituuttia. Gates syntyi Piedmontissa, Länsi-Virginiassa. He opiskeli Yalessa ja oli ensimmäinen afro-amerikkalainen jolle myönnettiin Andrew W. Mellon Foundationin stipendi, jonka turvin hän opiskeli Cambridgen yliopistossa englantilaista kirjallisuutta. Fordin stipendiaattina hän suoritti Ph.D. -tutkinnon. Clare Collegessa Cambridgessa Gates työskenteli yhdessä nigerialaisen kirjailijan Wole Soyinkan kanssa, vaikka Soyinkalta oli evätty pääsy kirjallisuusosastolle, koska Afrikan kirjallisuutta pidettiin tuolloin Gatesin mukaan "parhammillaan, sosiologiana tai sosiaaliantropologiana, mutta ei oikeana kirjallisuutena. " Soyinkasta tuli kuitenkin ensimmäinen musta afrikkalainen, jolle myönnettiin Nobelin palkinto. Soyinka jäi vaikuttavaksi mentoriksi Gatesille ja tämän monien töiden kohteeksi. Hän löysi mentorikseen myös muita, jotka jakoivat "yhteisen herkkyyden". Näitä olivat muun muassa Raymond Williams, George Steiner, ja John Holloway.
