capitalism, and especially in the era of imperalism and proletarian
revolution, the interaction and mutual impact of different
countries in the political, economic and cultural
spheres are extremely great . 1
To further explain the dialectical method, it is essentially a
method
that holds that no phenomenon in nature can be understood if taken by itself
.
Phenomenon cannot be isolated from surrounding phenomenon because
in so doing a
phenomenon must be considered in connection with the surrounding
conditions, and cannot be understood or explained unless considered
as inseparably connected .
No historical force is considered a
separate entity, but is
rather considered an interconnected force which
affects and is affected by other phenomenon in the world system . In analyzing
a formation such as RAM from a dialectical and historical materialist
perspective, the political forces, economic structure, relationship of
classes in U . S . society, historical development of the black liberation, movement,
political climate of the period and class structure of the black community
must all be synthesized in the study . The focus of this study will
be to analyze all
of the material phenomenon which interacted with RAM and
with which RAM interacted during the decade of the 1960's .
A historical materialist point of view is essentially the extension
of the principles of dialectical materialism to the study of social life and
the application of the principles of dialectical materialism to the phenomenon
of the life of society and its history . Being that the proposed research
is a descriptive analysis dealing with a given historical period of
time, the method of historical materialism would apply to the study .
