Houston Alfred Baker Jr. (born March 22, 1943) is an American scholar specializing in African-American literature and currently serving as a professor at Vanderbilt University in the English department.〔("Five prominent African American literature scholars to move to Vanderbilt" ), ''Vanderbilt News Service'', May 25, 2006.〕

==Early life==
Baker was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, which he later described as "racist" and "stultifying".〔"Houston A. Baker, Jr." in ''Contemporary Black Biography'', Volume 6. Gale Research, 1994.〕 The racism and violence he says he experienced as a youth would later prompt him to conclude "I had been discriminated against and called 'Nigger' enough to think that what America needed was a good Black Revolution."〔 He recently revised such a summary judgment in his book combining memoir and critique titled ''I Don't Hate the South'' (Oxford University Press, 2007).
