"The print edition of the Dictionary includes 2,126 entries in six volumes dealing with individuals drawn from all walks of life including philosophers, politicians, kings, queens, traders, entertainers, scholars, religious figures, activists, and everyday people whose lives have contributed richly and variously to African history. In entries ranging from two hundred to three thousand words, each contributor was challenged to produce highly readable essays of substance and reliability that would make DAB the starting point for researchers interested in Africa's historical actors, living and deceased. ... Each entry is followed by a guide to further reading, and the entries are extensively cross-referenced to promote an integrated reading of historical actors whose lives overlapped."
