Fawaz Turki (Arabic: فواز تركي, romanizedFawāz Torki; born 1940) is a Palestinian writer, poet, lecturer, political commentator, and human rights activist.[1] A prominent figure among Palestinian and Arab intellectual movements of his generation, Turki's memoirs about his family's exile from Palestine following the Nakba and upbringing as a refugee in Beirut were some of the first English language autobiographies to shed light on the Palestinian experience.[2]

Turki has written extensively for major publications, including International Herald Tribune, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Arab News, addressing complex political dynamics in the Arab world and advocating for justice and peace. He is also the author of several notable books, including The Disinherited: Journal of a Palestinian Exile (1972) and Soul in Exile: Lives of a Palestinian Revolutionary (1988), which offer personal and political reflections on the Palestinian diaspora.[3]
