Gabriela Etcheverry (born 1946) is a Chilean-Canadian writer, translator and literary critic who is also known for her role in Hispanic-Canadian cultural life.
She taught courses in language, literature, culture and civilization at Carleton University and at other agencies in Ottawa, Canada, and currently works in translation and interpretation.
[1] Her literary work suggests the "ambivalent identity" and "double affiliation"[9] of someone with strong ties to two different countries.
[11] Etcheverry has spoken at various Canadian conferences relating to immigration, and created theatrical pieces about migration and about women's experiences of torture in Chile which have been presented in various different settings.
The Department of Citizenship and Immigration invited her to visit schools to discuss experiences of migration with students, sharing poetry, stories etc., as part of a program called Passages to Canada.
