Publishing about 10 titles a year, Amistad does not aim for commercial fiction success it leans toward narrative nonfiction. The current editorial director is Tracy Sherrod, who joined the Amistad imprint in 2013. Harris joined HarperCollins as vice president of the imprint at the time of the 1999 merger, and remained as editorial director until 2003.

Harris (1934–2015) started in the 1970s the quarterly anthology of black writing Amistad at Random House, where he worked as a senior editor from 1967, and it "went through a number of collaborative publishing ventures with large publishers" before being launched in 1986 as the independent imprint Amistad Press Inc. It is the oldest imprint devoted to the African-American market, and takes its name from a slave ship on which a revolt occurred in 1839. This is a list of books published by Amistad Press, an imprint of HarperCollins acquired in late October 1999.
