{"value"=>"<p>The second series contains transcripts (including multiple annotated drafts) and an introduction for <span class=\"title\">A Stranger in the House</span>. This collection of oral histories includes interviews with thirteen African American women employed in households in New York City and the surrounding area. Each woman presents her personal perspective on domestic work. Several of the women have used pseudonyms in the book but in the transcripts their actual names appear. Pseudonyms appear in parentheses. Along with the interview transcripts there is an annotated introduction by Hamburger. As with <span class=\"title\">Our, Portion of Hell</span>, the introduction that appears in the book was an edited version. Additionally, there are descriptions of the interviews, including the details of how Hamburger met each participant, the environments in which he visited them, and his assessment of each interview.</p>"}
