This was really fun to read-- it's an oral history with very little analysis but so much you could mine if you were looking for it! The stories Mamie Garvin Fields tells are amazing, she's so rich in her recollections and they're so detailed in the work she and others have done. It's a really great book. I will say that if you're looking for more analysis, Karen Fields's introduction and epilogue are pretty undertheorized and there's little to no analysis, which I think is fine for the book but may not be what you're looking for.
