I reckon that mono_field_get_value will return a MonoArray,
Try something a bit like this:

MonoArray* monoArray = NULL;
mono_field_get_value(obj, field, monoArrayl);
MonoString *monoString = mono_array_get(monoArray, MonoString *, 0)
char *s = mono_string_to_utf8(monoString); // copy this into a buffer that you manage
mono_free(s);
