It is edited and managed by the International African Institute, hosted at SOAS University of London, the owners of the book series of the same name. It is additionally sponsored by the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University, Boston.

Editor: Raga Makawi
Managing Editor: Stephanie Kitchen
Book Series Editors (advisory): Adam Branch, Alex de Waal, Alcinda Honwana, Ebenezer Obadare, Carlos Oya and Nick Westcott.
