Abstract
The writing developed by Luis de Lion is marked by experiential events that influenced his literary production. Descendant of a Guatemalan Mayan ethnic group, he suffers firsthand racial discrimination by Ladinos in Guatemala City. Thus, the objective of this article is to analyze the work, La Puerta del Cielo in a double way: first, applying a narratological analysis, based on the theories of Ducrot, Todorov, Reis, Valles and Álamo and secondly, a criticism identified in the author's work, from the theory of the coloniality of power developed by Aníbal Quijano when applying them to themes that reflect the ladino / indigenous conflict, black / white, products of modernity and racialization in power relations.
