The Royal Chicano Air Force produced major works of visual art,
poetry, prose, music, and performance during the second half of the
twentieth century and first decades of the twenty-first.
Materializing in Sacramento, California, in 1969 and established
between 1970 and 1972, the RCAF helped redefine the meaning of
artistic production and artwork to include community engagement
projects such as breakfast programs, community art classes, and
political and labor activism. The collective's work has contributed
significantly both to Chicano/a civil rights activism and to
Chicano/a art history, literature, and culture. Blending RCAF
members' biographies and accounts of their artistic production with
art historical, cultural, and literary scholarship, Flying under
the Radar with the Royal Chicano Air Force is the first in-depth
study of this vanguard Chicano/a arts collective and activist
group. Ella Maria Diaz investigates how the RCAF questioned and
countered conventions of Western art, from the canon taught in US
institutions to Mexican national art history, while advancing a
Chicano/a historical consciousness in the cultural borderlands. In
particular, she demonstrates how women significantly contributed to
the collective's output, navigating and challenging the overarching
patriarchal cultural norms of the Chicano Movement and their
manifestations in the RCAF. Diaz also shows how the RCAF's verbal
and visual architecture-a literal and figurative construction of
Chicano/a signs, symbols, and texts-established the groundwork for
numerous theoretical interventions made by key scholars in the
1990s and the twenty-first century.
