"Jung also compared American newspapers to the endless chattering in the Negro village! The ever-open American door; the fact—strange to European eyes—that many American gardens, even in the most luxurious estates, are not walled in or even fenced but are wide open to the street; the lack of intimate privacy and the boundless sociability and social life were all, Jung felt at all events in 1927, reminiscent of the primitive life in open huts and the participation mystique, even identity, that one finds in the daily life of the Negroes."
