As Beijing is being transformed into a global city, new kinds of spatial and social hierarchies are produced. Based on ethnographic research conducted among students at a school for the children of migrant workers in China's capital, this article examines how new hierarchies are continuously produced through embodied spatial practices within city space, and examines how school texts, state ideology, and children's appearances produce new kinds of marginalities.
