It is published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the African Studies Association. The editor-in-chief is Lorelle D.

The journal was established in 1974 with an introduction by founding editor David Henige entitled, "On Method: An Apologia and A Plea."[4] In 2020, the journal announced a new editorial team composed entirely of Black and African women, led by editor-in-chief Lorelle D. Semley.[5]
