The Americanization of Louis By Louis Gutierrez This memoir chronicles the author’s childhood growing up during the Great Depression and World War II. Louis Gutierrez was born to immigrants from Spain in Tampa, Florida, in 1931. Growing up in the Tampa suburb of Ybor City offered him a unique community of Spanish, Italian, and Cuban immigrants. These families did not try to impose their culture or language on others, and while maintaining their traditions and language, they nevertheless felt it was important to learn English and become part of the melting pot that made all Americans free of labels. The Americanization of Louis answers the question of what it was that his family and others did to assimilate and become Americans, of which some recent arrivals differed and seemed to resist.

The twenty-seven women featured in the book are names from the past and those currently engaged in making our community stronger and more responsive to those in need. It was my intention to memorialize those whose lives were dedicated in helping others including those who fought and struggled to win the right for women to vote.
