N°3, de juillet-septembre 1999, de cette revue trimestrielle fondée et dirigée par Jean Cuisenier: le musée ethnographique dans les anciennes colonies "s'inscrit désormais dans le registre de la construction d'une mémoire et d'une identité": dans les Dom-Tom comme dans nombre de jeunes Etats issus de la décolonisation, les musées sont "à la fois des points d'ancrage d'une affirmation identitaire et des instruments de légitimation politique contribuant à construire, à valider ou à réfuter les représentations mobilisées par différents groupes en quête d'une histoire et d'un territoire" (4è de couverture); articles sur l'Afrique tropicale, le Gabon, l'Indonésie, la Réunion, les Antilles, le Vénézuela, le Québec, la Louisiane, le Canada, la Nouvelle-Calédonie, la Hongrie; et divers.
