abstract="As part of our theorization of the place-making conduct of new residents living in a gentrifying neighborhood of Los Angeles, we identify a curious paradox in which white liberals openly disavow overtly punitive policing practices, yet continue to actively call for or tacitly accept police action taken against individuals they perceive to be &quot;out of place.&quot; We examine this seeming contradiction in the context of a contemporary legal mechanism called a civil gang injunction, which allows for the banishment of purported &quot;gang members&quot; from parts of the city even in the absence of actual criminal activity--that is, on the basis of subjective perceptions about what and who constitutes a nuisance. Diverging from traditional approaches to revanchism rooted in vengeful intent, we argue that the direct and tacit endorsement of gang injunctions is motivated by what we call &quot;implicit revanchism&quot;--a no less harmful phenomenon that reflects the persistent and potent effects of implicit racial bias in processes of urban place-making.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
