- Duse Mohammed Ali was one of the founders of Pan-Africanism. He launched The African Times & Orient Review in 1912 as a monthly journal devoted to art, commerce, politics and litearture.
- Volume 1 No 1 proclaimed that "the recent Universal Races Congress, convened in the Metropolis of the Anglo-Saxon world, clearly demonstrated that there was ample need for a Pan-Oriental, Pan-African journal in the seat of the British Empire."
- Topics covered include the Negro Conference at the Tuskegee Institute, Hindu treatment by the Borden Government, the Race problems of Hawaii, a Mosque in London, the Anglo-Ottoman Society, and British Courts in Uganda.
- There are articles on Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Ceylon, Egypt, Liberia, Haiti, China, the Malay States, Brazil, the USA, and South Africa.
- The African Colonizer, 1840-1841, is more narrowly focused on trade, but includes features on the West African Gum Trade, the Slave Trade, Fine Woolled Sheep, Emigration and the Aborigines Protection Society.
