Sažetak
The chapter analysis the often posed questions: Why medical anthropology? Why anthropology? Although anthropology has been proved, in the last decades, to be more than a useful conductor of articulating at least some of the problems of forced migrants these questions always present a continuous importance. The aim is to be focused upon the future benefits that our disciplines can bring to the challenging problems of forcefully migrating populations. Furthermore, it is especially worthwhile to pose them after having been reminded that anthropology has been one of the dominating disciplines of forced migration and refugee studies scholarship over the past 20 years. This mistaken view should be rectified, and that is the main aim of this chapter.
