Présence africaine's first issue was published in the fall of 1947, and the most prestigious African, African Diasporan, and European authors have written articles for the review, which is still in existence. In 1949 Diop founded Les Editions Présence Africaine, which has published more than four hundred books by francophone authors and was the first to publish the translated works of anglophone Africans such as Kwame Nkrumah, Chinua Achebe, Julius Nyerere, and Wole Soyinka.
