Overview

Featuring vibrantly colored, politically charged imagery, this stunning volume is the first comprehensive survey of work by the Sacramento-based collective known as the Royal Chicano Air Force. Rebels with La Causa: Royal Chicano Air Force Art and Activism, 1970-1990 explores the expansive production and creative impact of posters by the Royal Chicano Air Force (RCAF), one of the Chicano Movement's most prolific and impactful artist collectives. The group produced lively posters and murals for educational, cultural, and political activities, and their art and activism influenced many artists and historians, with images reflecting Latin American and Chicana/o history, symbols of protest and union support, and celebrations of cultural emblems and community events. With vivid illustrations and accessible text by scholars in the field, this striking book helps bring this influential group and movement to life and positions the collective as an integral piece in the larger history of graphic art in the United States.
